Editorial Review: Product Description: Feeding horses wasn't supposed to be so complicated. At least that's not what Mother Nature intended. All horses in the wild really needed was a good source of grass and water and a natural salt lick of some kind. But as man began using horses for specific purposes, such as working fields, riding for pleasure or performance, or for breeding, so too did the kinds and amount of feeds owners gave to their animals. In Understanding Equine Nutrition, Karen Briggs, a horsewoman and equine nutritionist, sets out to make feeding horses simple again. Whether your horse is a growing yearling, a high-performance athlete, a mom-to-be, or a favorite pasture horse, this important guide will help you make sense of the jargon, sort out the ingredients, and make a feeding plan and menu that is best for your horse. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Good informationI have to say this book was pretty easy to read. It does help you understand equine nutrition. How the horses' digestive system works and why horses need proper nutrition. Even a good discussion on the different types of hay. I bought the book to refresh my memory because I got myself a horse again after more than 20 years and the book helped me a great deal. Rating: - Good beginning nutrition bookThis is a good beginning horse Nutrition book. It doesn't go into a lot of detail but will at least explain the building blocks of horse feed and help the reader understand what needs your horse has on the nutrition level. It is easy to read and is a good starter book. Rating:  - A guide on how to do more harm than good.Seems like anyone who has fed a horse is an equine nutritionist these days. This book was revised in 2007, but I think the only thing that changed was the cover. I didn't read this book in its entirety, but just skimming it was enough to know it includes some real backwards information. She recommends feeding sweet feed! (We should all be working to eradicate sugars from our horses' diets.) And she describes corn as a nutritious grain! (FOR COWS!) Yes, there is some usable information in ...

It is easy to read but just as informative as a textbook. This book would be great for the long-time horse owner or someone just starting out. I highly recommend this book. Rating: - Excellent book with lots on useful informationThis is a great book, and is a very easy read & well organized. I would definitely suggest this book be on every horse owner's shelf.
