Clare graduated with a first class BSc honours degree in equine science in 1997. She first worked for a leading horse feed company as their nutritionist, then spend several years working for a leading horse feed and supplement company, giving nutrition and dietary advice to horse owners, yard managers, and vets, formulating products, and writing articles.

During 2001/02 she independently achieved her Masters degree in human and equine sports science with distinction at the University of Essex. Clare's first book The Truth About Feeding Your Horse was published in February 2007 by J A Allen.

Clare specialises in feeding horses for performance and can also advise on rider nutrition and fitness. She believes in putting academic theory into practice and completed the Great North Run half marathon in 2002. Clare has an avid interest in fitness and health in both horse and rider and tries to practise what she preaches with running, resistance training, Pilates and riding. Her enthusiasm for health and fitness has promoted an interest in feeding the horse more naturally, which results in less disease and disorders and more optimal performance.

Clare's scientific knowledge is backed up with years of practical experience feeding both her own and other horses. Working on a commercial yard in Wiltshire for almost two years provided experience of a wide range of nutritional needs, and Clare has owned and looked after horses all her life. She currently owns two horses whom she looks after herself.

In addition to providing nutrition and feeding advice to horse owners, Clare works as a consultant to leading feed and supplement companies, and she maintains an awareness of the products available to horse owners. Clare also lectures in nutrition and exercise physiology and is a freelance writer on the subjects. Clare is an experienced nutritionist who is fully insured, and offers you a professional service with complete confidentiality.
