I highly recommend this book... a wonderful compilation of all of Dr. Kellon's work with the Horse Journal.
It is a great resource for all horseowners who truly care about their horses' well-being. A no nonsense straightforward guide to providing your horse with optimal nutrition & care. Dr. Kellon's recommendations are solidly based on scientific fact, personal experience & in many cases trials conducted by the Horse Journal. Don't be misled by hype and buzz words that feed & supplement manufacturers throw at you. Dr. Kellon cuts through all of it and gives you the bottom line.
And for those horseowners, trainers, breeders who want to go one step further into the world of equine nutrition, Dr. Kellon offers online nutrition courses. For more information visit her website: http://www.drkellon.com/
With heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kellon for all she does for these magnificent creatures.
A most grateful student,

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Resource, October 17, 2008

By

This review is from: Horse Journal Guide to Equine Supplements and Nutraceuticals (Hardcover)

Working with Dr. Kellon has given me a whole new way of thinking about equine nutrition and this book is a wonderful "at home" reference. Never again will I believe the hype and sales pitches of feed and supplement manufacturers. I now know how to figure out exactly what my horse's diet does and does not need.

The information in this book is presented in Dr. Kellon's no-nonsense, scientifically based style which is both refreshing and reassuring. If you want a straightforward guide to supplementing your horse, this is it.
