Essential Equine Nutrition
Science Based - Species Appropriate
An accredited equine nutrition course designed for Equine Professionals and enthusiastic horse owners who want to be sure they're meeting the needs of the horses in their care
Nutrition underpins almost every aspect of a horse’s physical and mental health.
A solid understanding of nutrition is invaluable for any equine professional who offers a holistic service focused on helping horses and their humans.
There’s so many different products on the market it’s difficult to know what’s what.
The Essential Equine Nutrition course has been designed by Nia Cooke to give you all the knowledge an Equine Pro needs in an easy to understand format.
