Horses need feeding correctly in order to perform at their best. This book is designed to help owners, riders, trainers and students understand how the digestive system of the horse functions, what nutrients the horse needs for health and fitness, which feeds contain these nutrients and, most importantly, how to use this knowledge to create practical and economical rations for their own horses.

Horse nutrition and feeding

Blackwell

A new edition of an established textbook (first published in 1986) which explains exactly what is required of today's competition horse in order to meet modern demands. Sections on feeding and care of the competition horse are combined with the latest thoughts on equine physiology to make this book unique in the way in which it combines understandable science with practice. The second edition includes a completely new chapter on the utilisation of nutrients during exercise, which reflects the greater attention being paid to the combination of work and feeding as integral parts of a successful training and fitness programme. Another new chapter - on the role of equine sports physiology and sports therapy - outlines the latest research and its practical applications.

This book is a guide to the day-to-day aspects of horse care and stable routine. It explains in clear and concise terms practical tasks such as clipping and trimming, saddle fitting and bitting, placing an emphasis on correct and safe procedure. In addition Horse Care contains information on the transportation of horses, lungeing, yard organization and practical feeding and watering. While Horse Care will make informative reading for the first-time horse owner, the subjects are covered in such a way that more experienced students will find it essential for preparing for BHS examinations and National Diploma and Certificate courses. Along with Horse and Stable Management, this book covers the underpinning knowledge needed for the British Horse Society Horse Knowledge and Care examinations up to Stage III as well as the horse care aspects of National Vocational Qualification Levels 1, 2 and 3.

The book sets out clear guidelines on the care of the horse before, during and after competition and explains the problems performance horses are likely to encounter.

Getting Horses Fit: A Guide to Improving Performance

Using simple explanations and numerous illustrations, this book sets out to help horse owners, riders and trainers design simple and effective rations for all types of horse and pony, from riding school cobs to three day event horses. Specially designed feed charts show what and how much to feed all types of horses and ponies including Mountain and Moorland breeds, "fizzy horses", fat horses and "poor doers". Using a fresh and user-friendly approach the book explains how to feed horses from understanding the function of the gut to feeding problem horses. It offers helpful suggestions for dealing with the difficulties that can arise on a day to day basis, such as coping with spring grass or a hay shortage.

Practical Feeding of Horses and Ponies

Horses have been taken from their natural environment and enclosed in paddocks and stables, dramatically changing both life-style and feeding habits. Feeding time has been greatly reduced and cereal and protein concentrates introduced into the diet. As a result, horses are prone to many problems associated with feeding. 
This book clearly explains the science of nutrition and combines this with the art of feeding to encourage an understanding of how to feed horses to keep them healthy, and allow them to reach their full performance potential. This new edition - the first since 1992 - has been fully updated and extended to include new feeds and feeding practices and explains new advances in scientific knowledge. It provides clear guidelines for feeding competition horses, older horses and problem animals, and explains the role of feeds and feeding in maintaining the immune system and soundness. Horse Nutrition and Feeding is the recognised text for students studying horses at colleges, for BHS examinations, and for horse-owners.
