  The Horse Nutrition Bible makes choosing the correct diet easy with simple advice on how to assess a horse's nutritional needs by considering his living conditions, age, health and the demands placed on him by his owner. Information on all the forages, mixes, cubes and supplements is easy to find, and more importantly is linked to advice on the value or otherwise they will add to your horse's diet. Guidance on different climates, regions as well as how to correctly store food all help to provide a comprehensive survey of equine feeding needs. In addition a whole section is dedicated to indispensable problem solving advice. This is further explored with what to do in diet related illness, such as colic, choke or azoturia. Expert Ruth Bishop knows that feeding horses isn't about studying the science of nutrition, it's about developing an understanding of the ingredients of your horse's diet, and confidence in what will and what won't work for the horse or horses in your care. Above all there is nothing is more pleasurable than the sound of contented munching coming from the stable.
