What does it really mean to be an equine nutritionist, and how can horse owners tell if the advice they’re getting is coming from an appropriately qualified expert?

In this episode we discuss:
-Why “Equine Nutritionist” is not a protected title and what that means for horse owners

-How to spot red flags when seeking nutrition advice online
-Practical steps to ensure you and your horse gets expert, evidence-based nutritional guidance
