It can be so frustrating when you feel like:

- you don't know who to trust when you read information online

Frequently Asked Questions

When does this Course start?
The next intake will be in the New Year 2026 - date to be announced - and it runs for 4 weeks during which time you gradually make your way through the trainings (drip fed so no overwhelm).
If you want to carry on after the first 4 weeks, and access all the Advancing Nutrition modules, webinars and everything else I offer, you have the option to join my Equine Thrive membership (only open to graduates of Confident Horse Feeding).
The live support sessions called 'Feed Rooms' are on most often on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm. You get a message the weekend before to confirm the date and time. There are 4 in total, in this Course.
I'm super-busy, how much time will it take me?
The video trainings and workbook are concise and to the point, and each week will not take you more than 1 hour to complete (on top of the live Feed Room Q&A sessions). How much you watch or study up to you, but the more you study, the more confident, knowledgeable and capable you will become!
I don't use Facebook - will the Program still be worthwhile?
Yes it will! You can access all the trainings and bonus content from the Confident Horse Feeding portal, which is attached to Clare's website and not part of Facebook. The community is based in a Facebook Group. The live support sessions with me are on Zoom and are not linked to Facebook.
Will it be as good as a 1 to 1 session?
The essential benefit of this Course is that you have time to watch, listen, study and learn, and to come up with questions which you can ask Clare each week. This means you will be more empowered and informed because you've done the study yourself - meaning you'll be able to make better decisions about feeding your horse in the future. You do get the chance for 1 on 1 support from Clare in the live Feed Room sessions.
What if I can't attend one of the live Q&A sessions with Clare?
Don't worry - the sessions are recorded and you can catch up at a time to suit you. You can ask your question beforehand (in a form) and it will be answered during the Feed Room session, for you to watch and listen on replay later.
What does the Course cost?
The Confident Horse Feeding Course 2026 dates and cost are yet to be announced, but be sure to join the interested list (scroll back up to How to Buy) to be first to find out. You can pay with a credit or debit card, or via Paypal.
I'm not sure about online vidoes, as I've never done anything like this before. Will it work for me?
Yes, absolutely - Clare has specifically chosen this platform after being in exactly the same position herself! Don’t worry, the program is set up in a way that guides you naturally through the content.
And if you find yourself running into any problems, you can always ask for advice from your fellow students, or email us at help@equinenutritionist.co.uk and the team will help you out!
What if I hate cameras and don't want to share my questions live?
You can post your question (anonymously, if you prefer) to Clare before the live session, for it to be answered during the session. You can then watch and listen live (with your camera off) or you can watch the recorded session on catch up afterwards. You can keep your camera off for the live sessions (on Zoom) if you wish - it's up to you! Most participants find that after the first couple of sessions, they get confident to use their camera!
I'm happy with my horse's diet right now, but I'd like to learn more about horse nutrition - is this Course for me?
Yes, absolutely. You not only have the weekly training videos and workbook, but you also have access to much more, including 400 articles and videos training in the Equine Nutrition Learning Centre. You can ask Clare all your burning nutrition and horse feeding questions, including about individual products and brands. Many owners work with Clare to double check their horse's diet and nutrition, rather than starting from scratch. Other course graduates have taken part to upgrade their own knowledge and understanding, even although they don't currently own their own horse.
I don't have a horse right now but I want to learn more about horse nutrition. Is this Course for me?
Yes, absolutely. Several of our students have used the Course as a practical foundation nutrition course. You can even use a friend's horse, or a textbook horse as a case study to apply the Course information, should you wish. You not only have the weekly training videos and workbook, but you also have access to much more, including 400 articles and videos training in the Equine Nutrition Learning Centre. You can ask Clare all your burning nutrition and horse feeding questions, including about individual products and brands.
I just want a diet for my horse - will I get a diet plan for my horse?
Yes, you will. The Program is practical and you will work with Clare to formulate a diet plan for your horse, which you are happy with. You will get the opportunity during the live Zoom sessions to check the diet with Clare, so you will be confident that it is a diet that will make your horse happy and healthy. If you don't want to learn anything and you just want to be advised what to feed, consider one of Clare's advisory services, a Horse Feed Check or a 1 to 1 Consultation Package. Find out more on Clare's website at equinenutritionist.com
What if I want to carry on after the first 4 weeks, to get the Advanced Nutrition training, and so I don't miss out on new content (live Feed Rooms, webinars, video trainings, and extras like the Expert Summary)?
If you want to join a group of dedicated horse owners who want to stay in my Program, you can join my Thrive Membership, details of which you can get after you graduate the initial Course.
Thrive is only open to dedicated horse owners who have completed the initial 4 week Confident Feeding Course.
