My name is Santina Pamic, and horses have been a part of my life since childhood. They have always been an important part of my life. I’ve had the privilege of owning two mares myself and competing with them in show jumping. One of my mares, in particular, showed me just how individual a horse’s needs can be. She was very particular about her diet, which sparked my passion for equine nutrition even more. I wanted to understand what a horse truly needs and how to tailor its diet in a personalized and sensible way.

I’ve been living and working in Austria since 2022, where I’ve been able to further deepen my expertise in equine medicine and nutrition. To this day, I continue to educate myself, because for me, providing good advice also means never stopping learning. Through Equus Victu, I want to share my passion and knowledge and help horse owners find the right diet for their horse – tailored to their individual needs, easy to understand, and delivered with a lot of passion.

I look forward to working with you and to many wonderful encounters with horses and their owners.

Why did I choose this path?

My decision to dedicate my work to equine nutrition grew from a combination of personal experience, professional training, and my deep connection with horses. During my time working at an equine clinic in Austria, I came to truly understand the profound impact that targeted, individualised nutrition can have on a horse’s health, wellbeing, and quality of life.

One story that has stayed particularly close to my heart is Zvone’s. His owners had spent years searching for ways to improve his health and overall condition. With an individually tailored feeding plan, we began to see remarkable changes within just a few weeks. Zvone gained weight and strength, and, most importantly, he rediscovered his energy and zest for life.

Moments like these remind me why I do what I do. Seeing how the right nutritional approach can positively transform a horse’s wellbeing is incredibly rewarding — and it is the reason behind my work.

Santina is amazing! Given the urgency of the situation, she immediately began familiarizing herself with the complex issue and outlined the first steps to take. She is incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly warm—she even downloaded a special messaging app so we could communicate, since I don’t have a popular one. I’d love to give her more than 5 stars—Thank you, Santina!!!

Super punctual, reliable and uncomplicated. Due to multiple routes in my area, continuous weight checks using the horse scales are easily possible and very affordable, even for just one horse.

Recently, THE HORSE SCALE visited us for the first time. Santina and her partner were very punctual, well-organized, helpful, and very friendly. The horses were given all the time they needed. Santina explained many things to us (very clearly) and also found time to answer our questions. Thank you so much!

The service was truly excellent, including the involvement of the clinic. They provided a very detailed and easy-to-understand plan with explanations of the feeding recommendations. If the horse is a bit picky, a solution was immediately found. Customer service and accessibility are top priorities. I especially appreciate that Santina seeks out the most affordable and local feed suppliers. The feeding plan is continuously adjusted based on the horse's weight gain. Even for conditions like Cushing's disease, mud fever, and gastric ulcers, the optimal plan is developed. Weighing the horse was also a breeze. My mare gained weight remarkably well after a long injury and hospital stay, thanks to the plan. All of this significantly reduced my stress, as equine nutrition, with its minerals and micronutrients, is quite complex. Overall, the expertise is truly extensive, and the entire consultation is highly competent and well-explained. I will definitely book another consultation and highly recommend them!
