Equine Nutrition Advisor II

 

Upon successful completion of ENA I, individuals may enroll in ENA II.

The case studies are harder, the topics are more complex, and advisors are challenged to solve complex nutritional problems.

Other areas of focus include supplements, medications, and common health woes which require nutritional intervention.

 

ENA II students can come to Ocala to learn on-farm with Dr. Mottet. 

Come to beautiful Ocala Florida during the winter and spend 4 days doing on-farm evaluations.

Visit some of the top stables and trainers in the nation to learn about how they feed horses.

Participate in business strategy discussions, hands-on consulting experiences, a trip to an equine feed mill, and much more!
