Equestrian Pursuits

Erin has worked as a horse trainer and riding coach since the age of 16 and grew up working in a large, professional stable.  She ran summer riding camps for girls for many years and managed show teams both in the US and Europe. Since graduating from Veterinary School she runs her own boutique agistment and Rehabilitation Center, Spring Oak Rehabilitation.

Interest in Gut Health
Erin has always been interested in Equine Nutrition and particularly in the role that nutrition plays in Equestrian Performance and Disease. After her travels through the UK and Europe and her move to Australia she became even more interested in the differences in philosophies and practice of Equine Nutrition throughout the world. She became passionate about researching the science behind Equine Nutrition and Gut Health and the outcome different feeding strategies and practices can have on behavior, development, performance and disease.
