Since 1990, Hi Form Australia has been producing a range of ground breaking supplements for horses and ponies. Developed to provide the very best in nutritional support, the Hi Form range is the very best for your horse or pony. Premium ingredients for premium results.

Hi Form have a number of clear points that set us apart from many supplement companies out there. We select human grade ingredients including organic herbal extracts, wild crafted herbs, top quality amino acids, vitamins and mineral tissue salts.

We select mineral tissue salts instead of standard minerals as they provide micro feed rates and allow balancing of diets more successfully, without the need for multiple large scoops. The formulas contain no fillers, binding agents, preservatives, colours or flavours.

All the Hi Form supplements are produced in a HACCP certified facility, where our formulas are the only animal supplement they make, among some of Australia’s leading human health supplements. We don’t cut corners and demand perfection in our ingredients.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF HI FORM AUSTRALIA

Nutrition and horses were originally two separate passions of Antoinette Foster, founder of Hi Form Australia, after completing a diploma in nutrition in human health, Antoinette became very serious about Equine health and nutrition. It all began when Antoinette continued to have problems with coat condition, immune and overall health with her horses, she decided to look in to nutrition for her equine companions

By 1990 through study in Horse Nutrition, Herbal Medicine incorporating the use of Herbs in Horses, research, assistance from colleagues and horse owners, Antoinette had developed a range of products and formed Hi Form Australia PL. At first business was mainly from friends of friends, people willing to give these new products a go and the word spread quickly that these Hi Form products really did offer to the consumer what they promised. The ProflamAid – then known as Hi Form P – was a particular favourite and Antoinette still gets goosebumps to this day reading back on those first testimonials.

The team at Hi Form is hands on, energetic and eager to help. “We want every horse on one of our daily formulas because nine times out of ten, problems are nutritional. Nutrition is the key to life and unlocking the horses’ genetic potential.We don’t offer a quick fix, we offer a way to maintain health and wellbeing that is economical, sustainable and visibly effective.” says Nicci “We want people to learn the safest, most affordable and beneficial ways to feed their horse, whether or not they are an Olympian or just starting out.”

 

WHY WE CHOSE HI FORM

My journey with Hi Form began not as a business idea, but as a horse owner searching for better answers. Like many owners, I had tried countless products, spent significant time and money, and still felt something fundamental was missing. I wanted to understand why certain approaches weren’t working, not just keep adding more to the bucket.

That search eventually led me to Australia (via Spoga in Cologne), where I was introduced to Antoinette from Hi Form and a very different way of thinking about equine nutrition. A day spent learning about forage, feeding principles and targeted supplementation challenged many of the assumptions I’d previously held and prompted a complete rethink of how I approached my own horses’ diets.

With healthy scepticism, I began applying those principles at home — reviewing forage, simplifying feed, and focusing on nutrition as a foundation rather than a quick fix. The changes in how my horses coped day to day reinforced the value of taking a more considered, whole-horse approach.

In 2017, we brought Hi Form to the UK and Ireland, built around the same philosophy: thoughtful, practitioner-led nutrition, high-quality human-grade ingredients, and formulations designed to support horses as individuals rather than mask problems.

Today, Hi Form reflects our belief that good nutrition should be clear, honest and practical — supporting long-term wellbeing through consistency, quality and education, rather than hype or promises.

Since then, we’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of horses and owners — many of whom I’m proud to now call friends. What matters most to us is taking the time to offer clear, considered nutritional guidance, whether someone is new to Hi Form or has been with us for years.

While Hi Form is very much founder-led, we are fortunate to be able to draw on the expertise of a trusted, world-class network of equine nutritionists, clinical nutritionists and medical herbalists when needed. Their knowledge helps inform the guidance we offer and ensures every horse is approached as an individual.

I place huge value on good customer service, honest communication and doing things properly. Above all, Hi Form is built around a commitment to thoughtful, long-term equine nutrition — focused on wellbeing, balance and consistency rather than quick fixes.

To those who already trust Hi Form with their horses’ nutrition, thank you, we love working with you.

And if you’re new here, you’re always welcome to get in touch and find out what Hi Form is about.
