Description:   Getting Your Horse Healthy and Keeping Healthy

At Penzance we view our horses as our friends, our partners. We respect them; we listen to them; we interact with them. We spend thousands of dollars on special feeds, hays, supplements and healthcare to ensure the very best we can afford for them.

Yet, sometimes that's not even enough.

This online course will help you understand the horse's digestive system, its nutritional needs and how the horse naturally utilizes his foods. What does the natural horse eat? What should be the basis of his diet? What can we do to help strengthen the immune system, keep him free from overload of parasites, illnesses, colic and even maintaining optimal hoof health through his nutrition?

Through an understanding of equine natural nutrition  you will learn how to renew your horse's health and maintain it at optimal levels. Prevention is the best medicine.

This online course from PENZANCE Equine Solutions is based on years of studies with some of the world's most reknown horsemen and equine behaviorists as well as from the horse, himself.

Over 48 years of practical, hands-on experience with horses add to the wealth of information that is offered in NUTRI101. You will be most pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to design a diet that will meet all of your horse's nutritional needs and how incredibly rewarding it is to see the positive changes that YOU can make in your horse's life simply through feed and nutrition.

The insight gained from NUTRI101 will last a lifetime and filter into other areas of your and your horse's life as well.

This course runs for 10 weeks.
