This book is not intended to be a manual of horse management, such as the care of feet, teeth and methods of getting horses fit. Rather it is to show how horses can be kept in the best health possible by making sure they get the nutrients they need.
Take a look at horse care half a century ago, before the days of chemical farming and the drug approach so largely used today. Many of the troubles we have now were unheard of in those days. In racing stables the staple diet was enough to keep horses in optimum health.
This book will show trainers, breeders and horsekeepers of all sorts what happens when horses do not get the minerals and vitamins they need; and how to rectify the problems that arise.
