Horse paradise
...because your horse deserves the best

Get more out of your pasture
Do you feel that you can get much more out of your horse pasture? Do you have to feed your horses too much at the moment?
Do your horses sometimes experience stress and restlessness? Do you want change and do you want to get more out of your horse pasture?
Horses are more than grazers
Horses are natural grazers, but also browsers. This means that they have been picking their food from different heights since horse memory.
The natural stretching that results from this is very important for a horse's health. In traditional pastures, horses eat 100% of their food on the ground or from feeding setups.
In reality, a horse needs to be able to get at least 20% of their food at different heights, from their knees to the furthest they can stretch.


How to make your horse happier?
-
Edible trees and shrubs grow in their pasture
-
Hills and obstacles are there to face or avoid
-
Challenges are allowing them to explore all their muscles
-
Medicinal plants grow in or next to the pasture
-
Wet areas are present to hydrate their hooves
The solution: a horse paradise
Someone from our design team will visit the entire horse complex during an afternoon.
​​
We start by analyzing the horses currently there and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the pasture(s) 's current condition.​​
​
We identify your project's most significant work points during a brainstorming session. After this afternoon, you will receive a roadmap with the different priorities.
​​
You can then work on it yourself or let us develop it into an all-in-one plan.
We will discuss your project, goals, and obstacles in the afternoon. Gathering expertise takes a lot of time. We are here so you don't have to dig through dozens of books and websites to find out what suits your situation.


Personal equine story
Louis De Jaeger, founder of Commensalist, is a huge horse lover himself. Even though he considers himself to ride far too little on horseback, he seizes the opportunity as soon as it presents itself. In his youth he took riding lessons at a riding school. Later he joined a friend and her horse in the fields.
​
He enjoyed horseback riding in the precursors of the Himalayan mountains near Tibet, as well as in Finland, USA and in the south of France.
It still happens sometimes today that Louis helps a farmer herd cows in a nature reserve, on horseback.
​
This photo shows him with his wife on the border of Texas and New Mexico, in the USA, shortly after they got married.
