A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
I am an equine nutritionist in Ontario Canada. After completing my MSc. at the University of Guelph I started my own independent equine nutrition consulting company - Balanced Bay. I now offer hay testing, balanced diets, as well as both on-farm and remote consultations.

One of the main reasons I pursued nutrition in school is due to the metabolic struggles I had with my mare Piper. We used to do both field hunting and dressage but now our focus is simply on enjoying rides together.
