Principles of Equine Nutrition (A Stable Connection)

This is a one-day class covering the fundamental principles of equine nutrition. Most importantly, it is independent and unbiased and the only class of its kind. We’ll cover what a horse has evolved to eat, the GI tract, classes of nutrients, types of forages and feedstuffs, reading feed labels, calculating rations, feeding for life stages, special considerations – and more. Activities will include calculating a horse’s weight, body condition scoring, feed comparisons and ration calculations. The class has been developed in collaboration with an Advisory Board that includes an independent equine nutritionist, a double-Board-certified equine veterinarian, and other experts. The class includes a full-color 80+ page reference manual and a Certificate of Completion.
