What to Feed Your Horse and Why
What is the healthiest "formula" for foals? Can
you correct a horse with bad eating habits? How do you meet
the special nutritional needs of high-performance or elderly
horses?
Melyni Worth, one
of the world's leading equine nutritionists, knows the answer
to these and many other horse-nutrition-related questions.
In this comprehensive handbook she provides down-to-earth
explanations of everything from how a horse digests its food,
to why the horse's summer diet is not suitable when winter
comes roaring in.
On every page of
Storey's Guide to Feeding Horses, you'll find detailed information
on how to keep your horse happy and healthy. Topics include:
- The equine
digestive system
- Nutrients in
detail
- Water in the
diet
- Nutritional
disorders
- Making hay
- Using supplements
- Evaluating
weight & well-being
