About the Author
Pat Coleby has been instituting eco-farming techniques in Australia for the last half-century. She practices commercial-scale farming and writes and travels extensively as a lecturer and farm consultant. Early on in her career, she realized that conventional veterinary medicine was far from a cure-all. She recognized that good nutrition is the key to preventing ill health in animals, and her prescriptions of non-invasive, natural remedies resulted in amazing, seemingly miraculous cures in animals whose cases conventional veterinary wisdom would abandon. As word of the success of her natural treatment spread, Coleby quickly became known as an expert on holistic animal care. Coleby has written numerous books on holistic livestock husbandry and land stewardship including Natural Cattle Care, Natural Goat Care and Natural Sheep Care, and Natural Farming, also available from Acres U.S.A.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a wonderful book,
By Ronaye Ireland (Maple Ridge, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Natural Horse Care (Hardcover)
Truly a must read. It really puts horse care back to 101. If you thought it was complicated, it truly is simple. I wish my own personal health care was that simple. In particular adding the seaweed supplement makes a huge difference in how the horses assimilate their feed. They seem so much more efficient. In any event, read it. It will not only teach you about feed, but also pasture management. Something so much ignored.

Natural Horse Care made Simple,
By
This review is from: Natural Horse Care (Paperback)
Pat explains how over the 70 years that she has been working with horses diseases have developed in horses that never existed previously. The use of artificial fertilizers being the main reason - which ties up the minerals in the soil - especially the really important ones for horses!
She tells you how to simply remineralize your soil and will save you lots of money which you spend on expensive chelated processed vitamin and mineral supplements you don't need. She has a simple treatment using minerals and vitamins for every ailment, but her main concern in the book is with getting the pH and the mineral content of your paddocks balanced and 'available' for use by your horse.
5.0 out of 5 stars
