“‘I thoroughly enjoyed the Equine Nutrition course from NKC Equestrian Training. There is a whole load of information to digest and with tests along the way it makes sure the knowledge is soaking in. I knew a fair bit about nutrition as im a nosey cow and ask the nutritionist LOADS of questions but this goes far more in depth, so you know why you feed what you feed and what affect it has on the horse etc, along with a whole load of other stuff that i found thoroughly interesting. I can honestly say i learned loads and i would recommend it to anyone interested in nutrition, professionally or for your own horses.”

– Andrea Piddington

“You were so helpful with all my questions though and it put my mind at rest so I booked myself onto it and throughly enjoy it. I love the way it was broken into modules so I didn’t have to sit in front of a screen for a whole day in one sitting. I liked the hand books too as I read these before just to give me an idea of what was coming up.”
