The SPILLERS brand has announced a new series of free nutrition webinars designed to elevate horse owners’ understanding of equine nutrition and wellbeing.
The four webinars, to be held over the winter months, promise to provide valuable insights from nutrition, veterinary and welfare experts.
The first webinar, Forage Fundamentals, will be held on October 24 and be led by equine nutrition expert, Sarah Nelson.
She will explore the pivotal role of forage in the horse’s diet, covering essential topics such as the different types of forage, their nutritional value, and how to choose the most suitable type and amount of forage for different horses and ponies.
“This webinar is the perfect opportunity for horse owners to deepen their understanding of forage management and in turn, be better placed to support their horse’s digestive health and wellbeing,” said Ms Nelson.
AMTRA SQPs will have the opportunity to earn five CPD points for their professional development, and all attendees will be able to test their knowledge with a quiz and receive a certificate upon completion.
The first webinar will be followed by:
Stabling horses: Can we do it better?, which is taking place on November 21, with Isabel Harker, SPILLERS nutrition advisor and head of the SPILLERS Care-Line team, and Sarah Hallsworth, equine behaviour manager at Redwings Horse Sanctuary
Caring for the senior horse, which is taking place on January 16, 2025, with SPILLERS nutritionist and product manager, Sarah Nelson, and Professor Pat Harris, a leading authority on veterinary clinical nutrition and senior horse nutrition.
Spring into action: Effective strategies to help your horse shed the pounds, which is taking place on February 27, 2025, with SPILLERS nutrition advisor, Isabel Harker, and Nicky Jarvis, head of veterinary and vare at Redwings Horse Sanctuary.
Last winter’s webinars were very well reviewed with 83% of respondents rating the nutritionist’s knowledge of the topic as excellent and almost all respondents saying they would recommend the session they attended to a friend.
