4.0 out of 5 stars
Good information, but not very usable,
By Moondazed "An Odd Duck" (The not-so-deep South, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Horse Herbal (Paperback)
I really enjoyed the information in this book. It's the first of its type that I read, and the rationale for using herbs was wonderfully stated. The only problem I have with it is that she doesn't include doses clearly, making me feel like she's trying to drum up business instead of freely sharing information. I understand some things should be monitored, but other books freely offer dosages.

Do not bother,
By Horse herb girl 24 (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Horse Herbal (Paperback)
This book is just advertising for her own herb business. Try Herbal Horsekeeping by Robert McDowell and Di Rowling for an informative guide to feeding your horse herbs. My 22 year old TB/QH has never looked so good.
