Equine Supplements & Nutraceuticals by Eleanor Kellon, VMD

“The Definitive Guide to Supplements and their Use”

Recommended for all horsemen and veterinarians who are interested in equine nutrition beyond the basics of grain, hay and water. From those folks with heart problems or suppressed immune systems, to those who just want to maintain their health and vigor, nutrition is a path through which optimal health can be achieved. And science seems to be proving it more each day. But what about horses? The author---a veterinarian---laments the appalling lack of scientific research in equine nutrition. She explains how the National Research Institute determines minimum standards. And, in detailed charts and clearly written text, she presents a comprehensive method by which to treat both horses recovering from illness or injury and horses whose peak performance is paramount. Every day more science is proving that nutrition enhances human performance and benefits health. Equine sports medicine is in its infancy, the author notes, but it is growing. This noteworthy volume of information is a wise investment and an excellent reference for veterinarians as well as all  horse  owners. Eleanor Kellon, VMD, operates a  Standardbred

A Modern Horse Herbal by Hilary Page Self

“Recommended for any horse owner interested in alternative approaches to horse care”

In the last few years, herbal remedies have become popular both for horses and their riders. This book addresses the use of herbs specifically in equines. Written by the owner of Hilton Herbs, a successful company, one might assume that this book would promote her business. However, she manages to keep things neutral, and at the end of the book includes an extensive list of resources in addition to her own company. The book includes descriptions of the herbs themselves, then deals with specific problems and the herbs indicated for their remedy. The author describes the methods by which herbal remedies are prepared and administered, such as poultices, fomentations, tinctures, etc. All of the preparations are suitable for home; the horse owner need not be a scientist to follow the instructions. A brief chapter at the end of the book addresses some alternative therapies such as chiropractic and acupuncture, which are not necessarily directly related to herbal remedies, but would likely be of interest to anyone who wants to find alternatives to traditional medicine. Helpful  warnings, highlighted in  green boxes, advise  the reader if
 

there is any chance of harm to the horse if an herb is used in a particular situation, such as the risk of one particular poultice blistering if left on too long. The author does stress that herbal medicine is not a replacement for traditional medicine, but can be used to add to the horse owner's battery of protection against equine ailments. The book is of British origin, and some of the herbs mentioned are uncommon in the US. In the reference at the end, however, the reader is supplied with the means for tracking down any of the products mentioned in the book. Because it is geared to a British readership, this book may not always be ideal for American horse owners. It is, however, a thorough guide with a number of useful preparations and remedies, and could be useful to any horse owner interested in alternative medicines.
