Practical Horse and Pony Nutrition. Gillian McCarthy

There are numerous books covering the subject of feeding horses, but this book provides detailed information on feeding specific categories of horses depending on their age and use. Part 1 describes what a horse needs in terms of nutrients and which feeds to provide them. Part 2 gives in-depth information on feeding the specific categories—leisure horses, working horses, competition horses, broodmares, foals, stallions, veteran horses, donkeys and mules; discusses how feed affects behaviour and temperament; and provides an alphabetical listing of health problems related to feeding. This book is a must for anyone—from the individual horse owner to the career student—who has ever been concerned about what should and should not go in a horse's feed bucket.
