Equine nutrition specialist Chloe Casalis de Pury will not only talk about the basic principles of nutrition and hydration during the 15th anniversary of the Global Dressage Forum, but also update us about the latest scientific findings regarding scientific results when it comes to anything the horse eat & drinks and how this might affect his behaviour and performance in the dressage arena.
