Description

Three books in this series “The Making of a Perfect Horse.”

Raising and Feeding the Perfect Horse
John Lyons joins Dr. Eleanor Kellon in this book to give you expert advice about feeds and the best feeding practices to keep your horse healthy and feeling at his best. Dr. Kellon is widely regarded as an expert in the field of equine nutrition, having written six books, including Veterinary Care for the Perfect Horse. Together, she and John will give you vital inforamtion on choosing feeds, while explaining why some common feeding practices are sound, but others are feeding myths. And they’ll give you practical, valuable advice from how to feed an orphan foal to how to feed for a one day trail ride. Then, they’ll guide you through the adventure of your broodmare’s pregnancy and delivery, and tell you what you can do to help assure your foal has a great start in life.
Veterinary Care for the Perfect Horse
Taking good care of your horse’s veterinary needs involves two aspects: the first is knowing how to tell when he’s healthy and how to keep him that way. In this book, you’ll learn how to monitor your horse’s normal patterns, so you’ll quickly recognize when he’s not up to par. And we’ll discuss vaccinations and dewormers, and outline the most effective schedule for administering them. The second aspect of equine health care concerns circumstances when your horse is sick, lame, or just “not quite right.” For these times, Dr. Eleanor Kellon gives us practical insight into what we can reasonably expect from a veterinary exam. We learn how various diagnostic tests work, why horses should get Coggins tested, what X-rays will tell us – and much more.
Perfectly Practical Advice on Horsemanship
John Lyons and the Perfect Horse editorial team join together to bring you practical answers to some of the most often asked questions, such as: How do horses communicate using body language; when is a young horse mature enough to begin riding; why do horses crib; and, how can you condition an older horse to re-enter the work force? This book not only answers the questions, but provides the reasoning behind the advice. To us, that’s what practical is all about. After dealing with horse-to-horse and horse to human interactions, we’ll train our horse beginning as a foal–to give to pressure probably is the most important lesson of his life. Then we’ll head off the farm and handle the practical matters that come up when we’re out on the trail with our perfect horse.
