Independent Horse Nutritionist
Edward Jones (MSc Equine Science) a fully qualified independent equine nutritionist based in the UK, with over 15 years of dedicated experience in the equine industry.
Having worked both internationally and domestically, I bring a wealth of knowledge gained from collaborating with various horse breeds across diverse disciplines. In the UK, my professional journey has encompassed the nutritional care of polo horses, carriage horses, racehorses, and dressage athletes. Beyond borders, in Australia, I’ve had the privilege of working with cattle horses and endurance athletes.

I offer the latest unbiased insights into optimal horse nutrition backed by the latest science and research.
My goal is to provide you with a personalised feeding strategy that aligns with your horse’s unique requirements that will fit with your unique management routine.
