About Us · OKAPI UK

Real food for real horses — for over 20 years

Made in Germany, formulated by veterinarians, trusted by therapists across Europe

Our story

Horse nutrition the way it should be

OKAPI was founded over 20 years ago by Dr. Christina Fritz and Stefanie Gottlöber in Berlin, Germany — out of a simple conviction: that horses deserve feed that respects their digestive physiology, their evolutionary biology, and their individual needs.

Today, OKAPI stands for one of the most trusted ranges of horse feed and supplements in continental Europe. Every product is developed in close collaboration with veterinarians and equine therapists, manufactured in Germany under strict quality controls, and delivered fresh to horse owners and professional therapists across the DACH region, the Netherlands, Ireland, and now the United Kingdom.

Our promise: No fillers. No molasses. No unnecessary additives. Just clean, traceable ingredients chosen for one purpose — to support a horse's natural metabolism and long-term health.
What we stand for

Three principles guide everything we do

Species-appropriate

Every formulation respects the horse as a forage-eating, slow-digesting animal — not a high-performance machine.

Therapist-led

Our products are developed and refined alongside a network of over 600 equine therapists who use them daily in their practice.

Made in Germany

Manufactured at our facility under EU feed-business registration (Regulation EC 183/2005), with full batch traceability.
