Australia's expert on natural health care for animals explains how easy it is to keep your horse in top condition without using expensive treatments. Nutritional needs and avoiding diseases through sound farm management are among the topics covered. Essential reading for horse-lovers.
This book distills decades of Pat Coleby's experience into a fascinating introduction to horse nutrition. Pat addresses the root causes of many equine health problems, noting the ease of prevention (and often correction) through adherence to a few rather shockingly simple nutrition practices. This is not usually a way to describe this type of book, but it was a real page-turner! It's full of vital, but often overlooked information. I'm going to buy her Natural Sheep Care book as well.
I have so many of Pat Coleby's books, I have enjoyed the reading so much and it's not necessarily a replacement for other methods but she encourages her readers to really understand why horses need minerals and the state of the land and how it affects livestock. I have used many of her methods and they have helped my horses numerous times!!
This is an awesome book that will make yoou wonder why we feed, doctor and treat our horses the way we have been. I have started feeding the supplements and doing other things suggested by the book. Now to get people to vaccinate less...
