Progressive Earth began with Mel Barker’s lifelong passion for horses and her commitment to their well-being.
As a dedicated horse owner and qualified hoof care practitioner, Mel saw first-hand how the right nutrition could transform a horse’s health, comfort, and performance. Inspired by her own experiences and a desire to help others, she founded Progressive Earth in the heart of Orkney, Scotland.
Mel’s hands-on knowledge, combined with her drive to keep learning and sharing, shapes everything we do.
Her vision: to offer honest, science-led nutrition that truly supports horses from the inside out.
Today, Progressive Earth is trusted by owners across the UK and beyond, but our roots—and our values—remain firmly in Orkney.
