Master Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition +
Mineral Balancing Using the Minerals & Metals Mane Test™
Certified Equine Functional Nutrition Practitioner™ (CEFNP)
A Practitioner Training in Mineral Pattern Evaluation & Anti-inflammatory Forage First Nutrition
This is not another supplement course.
This is a clinical framework for identifying patterns that drive:
Chronic inflammation
Poor performance
Behavioral instability
Recurring "mystery issues"
...even in horses already on "good" diets.
The problem most professionals are facing:
I'm sure you have seen it.
-
Premium feed, stack of supplements...still inflamed with minimal changes
-
"Normal labs" and a clean workup from the vet
-
Client frustrated because nothing seems to work
This comes down to three core inputs:
Feed. Environment. Mineral Balance.
Often, the feed, or the overall feeding program, is not as supportive as it looks. The environment is driving hidden stress responses, and the mineral balance is disrupting how the horse utilizes everything else.
Most equine nutrition education teaches: ingredients, ratios, supplement stacking. This program teaches: why the horse isn't responding, how to interpret patterns instead of chasing symptoms, and how to simplify instead of stacking more.
Upon successful completion and graduation, you will recieve your certificate and the ability to order and utilize the Minerals and Metals Mane Test with your clients.
The next class begins June 1, 2026.
The CEFNP Certifcation trains you to:
-
Identify root-cause patterns. Using the Minerals & Metals Mane Test™ (HTMA) analysis
-
Build anti-inflammatory nutrition plans Focused on forage-first, biologically appropriate feeding
-
Remove inflammatory inputs from the diet Without overwhelming and over complicated protocols
-
Understand mineral relationships (not just levels) Including:
- Calcium dominance
- Sodium/potassium suppression
- Copper/zinc dysregulation
- Iron/aluminum burden
- Magnesium patterns
-
Communicating clearly with clients (and vets) Using pattern based, non-diagnostic language
-
Weekly Live Q&A access and nutrition rounds during your training and after certification you can get your questions answered and have the support of a community of professionals.
-
Business Building Module Learn exactly how to build your equine business. Including software and marketing information.
What Makes This Different
Most equine nutrition education teaches:
- macros/guaranteed analysis
- ratios
- supplement stacking
This program teaches:
- Why the horse isn't responding
- How to interpret patterns -- not chase symptoms
- How to simplify instead of adding more
Inside this certifcation, you learn a repeatable system:
-
Pattern Recognition. Identify mineral imbalances and stress patterns using HTMA.
-
Inflammation Reduction. Remove common dietary drivers of inflammation and oxidative stress.
-
Mineral Rebalancing. Learn to strategically support copper, zinc, magnesium, sodium, and trace minerals for the horse, not the hay.
-
Environmental + Timing Inputs. Understand how feeding timing, light exposure, stress, workload all impact metabolic response.
Who This Is For | Scope & Application
This certification is designed for:
Equine Professionals
- Trainers
- PEMF/Acuscope/alternative modalities
- Farriers
- Bodyworkers
- Barn Owners
- Nutrition Consultants
- Or those that want to be one!
Veterinarians
- Looking to expand nutrition-based support
- Wanting a structured mineral interpretation framework
Practitioners
- Functional/holistic practitioners working with horses
- Those wanting a repeatable system instead of guesswork
Scope & Application IMPORTANT
This program is designed for educational and nutritional applications only.
You will learn to:
- Identify patterns
- Make nutrition and management recommendations
- Support the horse through diet and environment
Non-veterinary practitioners will apply this within a nutrition and education framework.
Licensed veterinarians may incorporate these concepts into clinical decision-making within a valid veterinary-client-patient relationship (VCPR).
This program does NOT teach: diagnosis, treatment of disease, veterinary medical protocols.
We emphasize:
- Working alongside veterinarians
- Clear communication within scope
- Ethical compliant practice
What You'll Be Able To Do After Certification
-
Analyze a Minerals and Metals Mane Test™️
-
Identify key mineral patterns driving dysfunction
-
Build simplified, anti-inflammatory nutrition plans
-
ConfidentlyConfidentily explain why your recommendations matter
-
Reduce dependence on excessive supplementation
-
Create consistent, repeatable results across cases
Practitioners and Veterinarians consistently choose this program. For the simple reason that it gives them a clear system, a differentiated skill set, a way to simplify complex cases, and a method that translates to real-world horse owners.

Here's what a few recent grads had to say about the course:
-
2024 Graduate:
Thank you again for all you do. This is probably the best and most economical course I have taken. I think you actually need to charge more for this certification! You really want us to do well and do it for the horses sake, not the money!!!
Most other classes I have taken and completed I never hear from the instructor again, so thank you for continuing to support us as we learn and grow!! -
2025 Graduate:
This has been such a wonderful experience and I am so anxious to start offering this and get my feet wet.
-
2025 Graduate:
Ahhhh! Thank you so much! This class was absolutely incredible. I look forward to learning weekly!

GOT QUESTIONS? WE GOT YOU COVERED!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will there be future classes?
Audrey is a big believer in when the time is right for you, the time will be right. Though it is not guaranteed, we typically have a Fall and Spring registration each year.
Upon completing this cohort, what can I do with this?
After successful completion, you will be able to analyze a Minerals and Metals Mane Test, identifying key mineral patterns driving dysfunction. You will also be able to create simplified, anti-inflammtory nutrition programs across equine lifespan. You will be able to confidently explain why your recommendations matter. Effectively reduce dependence on excessive supplementation and create consistent, repeatable results across cases.
How long is the course?
There are 7 primary modules. Most people take 8-14 weeks to get through it. You have forever access and there isn’t a deadline. So whether you take 10 weeks or 10 months you still have the availability of the weekly Rounds to get through.
Are there any limitations to where you can work with this?
There is a scope use case for every state and most countries. Non-veterinary practitioners will apply this within a nutrition and education framework. Licensed veterinarians may incorporate these concepts into clinical decision-making within a valid veterinary-client-patient relationship. (VCPR)
What is a realistic earning potential?
We can't make income claims, because it is very much dependent on person-to-person, location-to-location. It simply isn't predictable who will do their job well and market well. Having the knowledge is only one part of being able to run a business in any industry.
I find that the most successful students are those that set out to help as many horses as they can, and the success happens naturally. I just met with another graduate that finished mid-year last year, and she was able to fully stop her side job now thanks to this work and do it full-time. I make a living doing it, earning significantly more than the national average salary. But I can't promise that it will be the same for you.
