The vital roles of correct feed rations, vitamins and minerals in the health of a horse are fully explained; and practical guidance is given on topics such as selecting the right food for your horse, treating ailments with natural remedies, dealing with recovery from injury, and combating equine flu. If you are a trainer, a breeder, or a horsekeeper of any kind you will benefit enormously from Pat Coleby's fifty years of experience working with horses in the UK and Australia - and all for much less than the cost of a single visit to the vet.
