Equines and their humans we’ve helped:

  • A brown horse with black mane and tail eating hay from a round container in an outdoor paddock.

    Jessica has always been a great resource when I’ve had questions about one of my client’s horses’ diet, so when my own horse got sick and lost a ton of weight, I knew she could help him get back to health, and I was so right! She went over his diet with me and helped me create a better plan, including supplements and grazing time to get my horse back on track. Within a few months he had gained the weight back and looked better than he did even before he got sick. Now I recommend her to all of my clients whose horses and donkeys need help with their feeding plans.

    I cannot say enough good things about Jessica Gonzalez and the incredible work she does for her animals at her rescue Empowered Equines. From the moment you step foot on her rescue, you can feel the love, dedication, and expertise she pours into every aspect of caring for her animals. She has an uncanny ability to understand the unique needs of each animal and works tirelessly to ensure they receive the individualized care they deserve. If you’re looking for someone who truly puts her heart and soul into animal rescue, Jessica is that person. Her rescue is a shining example of what can be achieved when you combine knowledge, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to animal welfare. I’m so grateful to have had the chance to see her in action, and I know the animals in her care are beyond lucky to have her.

    There isn't enough wonderful things I can say about Jessica Gonzalez. First of all, she's an equine nutritionist, and has the knowledge under her belt. Second, she doesn't work for a grain company. So, there's no motivation to sell you a particular grain. Third, she takes a no nonsense approach. Horses in the wild don't eat grain, so why have domestic horse eat grain, especially with the problems that come with grain. Fourth, she very honest and is prompt at answering your questions. I 120% recommend Jessica Gonzalez. She should be your go to person.
