INFORMATIVE TALK BY FIONA WATKINS on HORSE NUTRITION
7.00pm on TUESDAY 30th APRIL at SADDLESDANE EC CAFE
Fiona Watkins, BSc (Hons), Pro. Dip., is a fully qualified, professional UK-based Independent Equine Nutritionist and she has always been a keen horse lover and started riding at an early age. Her interest in horses and ponies has never dwindled, even with a career lasting fifteen years in corporate business. Ten years ago, she set about putting her passion into practice – with the goal of improving the welfare of equines through nutrition.
She is currently the first person to have been awarded a Professional Diploma from The Open College of Equine Studies (TOCES) in Equine Nutrition. This course took Fiona over two years to complete and unlike other qualifications available in Equine Science, solely concentrates on the physiology of the equine digestive system and associated nutrition for various disciplines. She, therefore, delivers to her clients, a concise working and practical knowledge of all aspects of equine nutrition together with real-life experience from a client base of over five hundred equines.
Refreshments will be available from the cafe
The shop is open until 6.30pm
Price £10 Members/£12 Non-Members
