5 out of 5 Stars!
Becoming an expert in equine nutrition is truly possible through the Legacy Equine Nutrition Advisor program. The knowledge gleaned from this program will far exceed all other courses out there. From the well thought-out and easy to follow learning modules to the webinars custom tailored to the student’s needs, Dr. Mottet delivers unparalleled insight and expertise in a positive, enlightening way. As a student, I appreciated her authenticity by sharing her real-life case studies which included her trials and tribulations throughout her career in the equine industry. I cannot recommend Dr. Mottet enough!

Nothing compares to this!
Truly, there are not enough good things to say about Dr Rachel Mottet and Legacy Equine Nutrition. I have taken a number of equine nutrition courses online and at the university level and none compare to the amount of real-world content Dr Rachel Mottet shares. Critical thinking reaches a new level as evaluating the horse's nutritional status goes beyond the horse's body and feed to encompass environment, management and everything in-between. That's not enough for you? Weekly live sessions covering case studies and business growth and development are invaluable. If you desire to improve the health of your horse or pursue a career in equine nutrition, look no further than Legacy Equine Nutrition.

Nothing short of fantastic.
Dr. Rachel Mottet is an amazing equine nutrition instructor. I am currently enrolled in the Legacy Equine Nutrition Advisor 1 course, and it has been nothing short of fantastic. Rachel has put so much content into the course, and hours of her time. I love the course format, and the online zoom sessions. Rachel is knowledgeable, supportive, and an amazing coach. Her approach to equine nutrition is based on no-nonsense science, and what is truly best for the horse. Her training has enabled me to see my vision in equine nutrition, and enabled me to better support my own horses.

Like nothing else out there!
Rachel has created an amazing nutrition course which is clearly presented and thoughtfully put together. She explains everything extremely well and is very responsive if you have questions. I have taken the Nutrition Advisor I course and plan to take the next course as well. Even though I already have a Masters degree in Equine Science and have been working in the industry for over 20 years, there is still so much to learn and this is such a convenient way to learn. I love the self-paced course that fits into my busy schedule! I don't believe that there is anyone else in the world with Rachel's knowledge about nutrition science, industry experience and communication skills. I would highly recommend that anyone who makes feeding decisions for horses utilizes Rachel for furthering their education!
