Unique Approach. Optimal Outcomes

A Cut Above The Rest

Optim Equine delivers a comprehensive assessment and treatment model to ensure optimal performance and health is achieved for your horse. 

A comprehensive, whole-horse assessment designed to identify and address the underlying causes of health, performance, behavioural, or fertility issues in individual horses.

Each consultation includes a detailed review of your horse’s case history, current diet and supplementation, medication use (if applicable), management practices, and relevant veterinary records, including bloodwork, imaging, and fertility data where available.

This is combined with a thorough physical assessment and in-depth discussion of your observations and concerns, including performance changes, behavioural traits, and long-term patterns. In breeding stallions, Camilla is also able to provide on-the-spot, high-precision semen analysis using state-of-the-art equipment.

From here, a tailored, practical strategy is developed to improve outcomes, integrating nutrition, supplementation, herbal medicine where appropriate, and management adjustments as required.

Optim Equine provides clear post-consultation documentation for easy reference, along with ongoing communication and support where needed.

For Complex or Performance-Limiting Cases

This approach is particularly valuable where issues are persistent, unclear, or not fully resolved through standard veterinary investigation, including:

  • Fertility and reproductive challenges in mares and stallions
  • Inflammatory bowel disease and complex gastrointestinal disorders
  • Performance or training limitations
  • Behavioural changes affecting work or handling
  • Injury recovery and recurrence prevention
  • Management of orthopaedic and soundness issues 
  • Sub-optimal performance post illness

Integrated, Collaborative Approach

Where appropriate, collaboration with your veterinarian and other equine health care practitioners is encouraged to ensure continuity of care and optimal health and performance outcomes are achieved. 

Independent, Unbiased Advice

As an independent consultant with no affiliations to feed or supplement companies, all recommendations are made solely in the best interest of your horse and your operational goals. Optim Equine takes pride in ensuring unbiased, outcome-focused support is provided to every client.

For operations where results matter, small inefficiencies are costly.

Optim Equine provides strategic nutrition and health optimisation across breeding and performance organisations: identifying and correcting the underlying factors limiting fertility, development, and performance.

Common focus areas involve developmental orthopaedic disease (DOD), including OCDs in young stock; foal health, including common issues such as scouring; fertility challenges in both stallions and broodmares; parasite (worm) resistance; and respiratory health difficulties such as equine asthma in performance horses.

Optim Equine provides tailored, practical solutions designed to improve outcomes across your entire operation.

Camilla is available for selected educational and speaking engagements across the equine industry, including veterinary continuing professional development events, stud farms, training establishments, industry events, podcasts, webinars, and written contributions.

As an independent practitioner with no affiliations to feed or supplement companies, all educational content is delivered with a strong focus on evidence-based, unbiased and practical information. Camilla aims to improve understanding, decision making and effective clinical outcomes in equine nutrition, health, performance and medicine.

Engagements are limited and tailored to the needs of the audience and organisation.

The Consultation Process

What to Expect

During an initial appointment, Camilla will conduct a holistic assessment of your horse. This will involve: taking a thorough case history; a physical assessment; review of current feed/dietary intake; and review of all supplements and medications. Having any medical records, blood tests, X-rays or scans (if applicable) previously taken of your horse on hand at this time is particularly valuable. This information helps to complete a most thorough assessment. Camilla will also take the time to discuss with you any concerns you may have regarding your horse and any particular characteristic quirks, vices and habits. In conjunction with you, Camilla will develop a treatment plan which consists of dietary and management advice, combined with herbal and nutritional supplementation where appropriate.

Camilla encourages open communication between any vets and practitioners involved in the treatment of your horse to ensure that optimal health and performance outcomes are achieved.

As Camilla works as an independent consultant (she is not associated with any feed, supplement or other companies), owners can rest assured that the advice and therapies offered are in the very best interests of their particular horse and situation.

Camilla is based in Tasmania, Australia. She frequently travels interstate and internationally, serving clients in these areas by appointment. Telehealth, phone and email consultations are also available.
