This is one of the best practical horse care book available. It is a no nonsense approach using proper nutrition to correct a wide variety of health issues affecting horses.

Natural Horse Care made Simple

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.

a wonderful book

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.

Well documented work

I am interested in this book as the author shares the same name as me. I would like to be able to speak with the author direct.
