horse nutritionist needed

[tullulahjay]

For some time now I have a very bad feeling my horse is sensitive to some food. Hence his bad mood swings. I have spoken to a few people who said it would be an idea to seek a professional. I have a 4 year. Who after work is nice to me (most of the time) but other times he is a so and so.. Does anyone recommend a good nutritionist in the essex area ?

Why don't you ring some of the feed companies? Don't most of them have a helpline? (I know some do, but not sure which as I don't live in England at the mo

)

Claire Macleod is brilliant! She has really helped me and is independent so not aligned to any particular company. Google her, she should pop up.
She does email consultations so doesn't necessarily have to be in your area.

Jackie Taylor from Metabolic Horses is excellent. She is v helpful on the phone and also has a Forum as well.

What are you feeding him currently? Horses are most commonly intolerant of barley, mollasses or alfalfa, sometimes sugarbeet or haylage, too much starch or cereal. Or just too rich a diet.
