Incredibly thoroughly researched, Jan 27 2010
By Susan A. Hardesty - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feed Your Horse Like a Horse: Optimize Your Horse's Nutrition for a Lifetime of Vibrant Health (Hardcover)
Dr. Getty's new book is one that has been so sorely needed by people who needed to find precise solutions to their horses' unmet needs.It is as if one hundred people have shared their cumulative knowledge and research to produce this volume. Every possible question is
answered! Every possible mistake is addressed for the reader and the proper solution is given. I have a wonderful horse who had a
traumatic injury about which very little is known. It affects his movement as well as his digestive system and though I've tried many nutri-
tional and medical treatments I have had little confidence in my instincts for treating him. This book has given me such intelligent new
avenues to offer him and such clear and precise instruction.

AWESOME book!, Jan 26 2010
By Bird McIver "Bird McIver" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feed Your Horse Like a Horse: Optimize Your Horse's Nutrition for a Lifetime of Vibrant Health (Hardcover)
Best book on nutrition I have ever read. Dr. Getty explains the whys and wherefores of equine nutrition, presenting the technical information in a readable style. She explains what you should be feeding your horse and why. And because she is not affiliated with any feed companies, you get the straight story. This book encompasses anatomy, physiology, and feed science, and you can tell, in every line, how much she loves horses. Using this book will enable you to feed your horse what it is designed to eat, and also, maximize your feed dollar! Buy this book!
