Description
Both Rob and Carol have had horses since a young age and met at an endurance ride. Carol’s endurance horse, Omani Mr Sqiggle was the 2009 Australian National Points and Distance horse for her weight division. Together they have completed at top levels, including the 400 km marathon, Shahzada (three times), NSW State Championship rides and the national championship, the 160 km Tom Quilty, The pair won the Big 3 Award for successfully completing the NSW State Championship, Shahzada and The Tom Quilty for one horse/one rider in one year, in 2010.
A need to understand the art and science behind feeding horses compelled Carol to search for courses that explained in depth the way to deliver an optimal diet based on peer reviewed scientific studies and to develop the tools to critique the abundant fads, myths and pseudo science. In 2008, Carol furthered her education by enrolling in equine nutrition courses provided by Dr Eleanor Kellon VMD, and to this day, is still enrolled and following the research. In 2009, Dr Eleanor Kellon VMD asked her to tutor students in the online nutrition course, NRCPlus and is still tutoring students today.
