Qualifications / Affiliated Bodies / Regulated Bodies

 

 

Briony has an undergraduate degree in Equine and Human Sports Science and a Master’s degree in Equine Science. As well as consulting in nutrition, Briony also holds a degree level lecturing post in Equine and Animal Science at Writtle University College.

Briony has also achieved the status of ‘Registered Nutritionist’ under the Association for Nutrition (AfN). This is important, as the title ‘nutritionist’ is not a protected term in the UK, meaning effectively anyone can use it. The Association for Nutrition holds a voluntary register of nutritionists: in order to join this register, your training and experience would have demonstrated that you have the knowledge, skills and competence to deliver the work of a nutritionist.

Further to this, Briony is fully insured and, not being employed by a feed company or supplier, can offer unbiased professional advice.
