About this course

It’s no secret that both equine obesity and nurse recruitment and retention are growing concerns for our profession. This new in-person course will aim to tackle both by empowering nurses to set up and run successful weight management clinics.

The course will share tips and advice that will allow you to set up successful and financially viable weight management clinics and better understand obesity. We will explore the reasons behind the rise in equine obesity, how it negatively impacts on a horse’s health and you will have the opportunity to get hands-on with body condition scoring and using weighbridges.

You will leave this course inspired to offer effective, financially-viable weight management clinics to your clients.


Learning outcomes

By the end of the course you will...

  • have developed your understanding of body condition scoring of both horses and donkeys
  • have gained hands-on experience in assessing clients' horses and developing safe and tailored diet plans
