About Equine Originals

 

 

Born from a deep love of horses and a desire for something better.

Equine Originals is proudly based in the serene Santa Rosa Valley of Southern California, where clean air, open space, and a passion for wellness shape everything we do.

Founder Allison Miller-Betancourt has been immersed in the horse world since childhood, growing up in the quiet countryside of Pennsylvania’s Upper Perkiomen Valley. Her lifelong bond with animals led her to California at 19, where she built her life and career around horses from north to south.

The spark for Equine Originals came during a pivotal moment—pregnant with her second child, Allison walked into the barn just as the automated fly spray system activated. Instinctively, she fled the aisle, unsettled by the harsh chemical cloud. That experience led to a simple yet powerful question: "Why isn’t there a natural repellent that actually works?"

What followed was a journey of research, label-reading, and alarming discoveries. Many everyday equine products—fly sprays, hoof treatments, grooming formulas—contained ingredients that required gloves to handle and warnings to avoid inhalation. Products meant for daily care weren’t safe for the very people using them, let alone the horses they were intended to help.

So she set out to change that.

Today, Equine Originals is built on a commitment to clean, non-toxic, and effective solutions. Every product is thoughtfully formulated to support the health and comfort of horses—without compromising the wellbeing of the humans who care for them. From natural fly protection to hoof conditioners and grooming staples, the line continues to grow with the same purpose it began: to give horse lovers something safer, healthier, and truly effective.

The journey continues—with nature, wellness, and trust leading the way.
