Our Story
Flourish was created by Equine Physiologist, Linda Bennis, who had a vision to formulate the first cereal-free, complete feed over 25 years ago. At that time Linda was working as an equine nutritionist in southern Spain, where many horses were suffering diet related diseases. This inspired Linda to set about developing a complete feed concept which was naturally compatible with the equine digestive system.
Since then, horses across Europe and beyond have enjoyed the benefits of FLOURISH, from young to old in all walks of life and work. Due to the unique formulation and compatibility with the horse’s sensitive digestive system, FLOURISH can be safely fed to all horses in all disciplines and life-stages.

I was born loving animals, especially horses, obsessed with understanding their physiology and digestion, knowing this was the key to health and life quality. This led me to a degree in Equine Science & Physiology, and subsequently, the Veterinary University in Córdoba, in Spain. This was where I carried out research for my thesis, and clinical work with Iberian horses suffering endemic diet-related diseases such as colic, laminitis and gastric ulceration.
These wonderful Iberian horses were my inspiration and the catalyst to developing a functional, cereal-free feed to support and nourish horses from the inside out.
Linda studied at Ayuverdic institute in London, qualifying as Ayuverdic consultant with distinction. This enabled Linda to develop first class functional nutritional remedies
All Horses - All Life Stages
Although the horse’s environment, management and feeding practices have changed dramatically to suit modern lifestyles, their digestive physiology remains that of a trickle-feeding herbivore, evolved to graze a diverse range of fibrous plants throughout the day and night. While domesticated horses have adapted in many ways, this disconnect between natural biology and modern diets has contributed to the increase in metabolic and digestive disorders rarely observed in feral horses living in natural herd systems.
Flourish is thoughtfully formulated to respect the horse’s evolved feeding behaviour, supporting digestive health across all life stages and disciplines. Highly digestible and gentle on the gut, it can be safely fed to every horse, removing the need for multiple feeds or unnecessary supplements, with simple quantity adjustments all that’s required to meet individual energy and nutritional needs
