Product Description
An all-new, up-to-date guide to the mind-boggling array of equine nutraceuticals and supplements on the market today from the most trusted publication in the equestrian world, "Horse Journal." This is the only book of its kind, complete with photos and charts, to guide you in making decisions about the optimal nutrition and preventative care for your horse, as well as natural supplements for performance. Dr. Eleanor Kellon is a founding editor at Horse Journal, and her articles have appeared in many books and magazines. Her philosophy has always been that herbal and proper nutritional support can help horses who suffer from allergies, insulin resistance, laminitis, weight problems, tendonitis, and ligament ailments. The Big Book fills a long-standing gap in horse care. Eleanor Kellon is a veterinarian and equine consultant whose work appears regularly in "Equus, Perfect Horseman, Hoofbeats" and "The Chronicle of the Horse." She and her husband live in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, where they breed and race Standardbreds.

A Wonderful Resource October 18, 2008
Working with Dr. Kellon has given me a whole new way of thinking about equine nutrition and this book is a wonderful "at home" reference. Never again will I believe the hype and sales pitches of feed and supplement manufacturers. I now know how to figure out exactly what my horse's diet does and does not need.
The information in this book is presented in Dr. Kellon's no-nonsense, scientifically based style which is both refreshing and reassuring. If you want a straightforward guide to supplementing your horse, this is it.
 Dr Kellon's equine books October 2, 2008
I like this book and it's format very much. I have several of Dr. Kellon's publications and this one is as good as all her others.
I agree with Ms Larson's comment about her First Aid book. I keep my copy in my first aid box (a step-stool toolbox) so that it's right where I need it - at the barn or on the road in the trailer.
Another very good book about Nutrition and supplements is Dr. Kellon's "Equine Supplements and Nutraceuticals: A Guide to Peak Health and Performance" http://www.amazon.com/Equine-Supplements-Nutraceuticals-Health-Performance/dp/091432778X/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222983953&sr=1-4
Fantastic book June 26, 2008

Dr. Kellon is the world-famous equine nutritionist. She is also the vet editor of John Lyons Perfect Horse and Horse Journal. Famous for her no-nonsense style and attention to detail, this book is a wonderful resource. She covers everything from antioxidants to joint support to feeding the senior horse. It is a must-have for horse owners.
For those who want even more detail than this book provides, Dr. Kellon also has on-line courses covering a range of subjects from nutrition to cushings to understanding bloodwork.
I heartily second Claire Cox-Wilson's review June 26, 2008

I heartily second Claire Cox-Wilson's review. I would add that Dr. Kellon's First Aid For Horses should also be in every horseman's stable. It is as detailed, informative and clear an emergency book on horsekeeping as I've ever read. Both will become well-thumbed references for horses and the people who love and care for them. Solid, current, medically sound advice can be difficult to find. It's here in both books.

A must for all horseowners! June 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I highly recommend this book... a wonderful compilation of all of Dr. Kellon's work with the Horse Journal.
It is a great resource for all horseowners who truly care about their horses' well-being. A no nonsense straightforward guide to providing your horse with optimal nutrition & care. Dr. Kellon's recommendations are solidly based on scientific fact, personal experience & in many cases trials conducted by the Horse Journal. Don't be misled by hype and buzz words that feed & supplement manufacturers throw at you. Dr. Kellon cuts through all of it and gives you the bottom line.
And for those horseowners, trainers, breeders who want to go one step further into the world of equine nutrition, Dr. Kellon offers online nutrition courses. For more information visit her website: http://www.drkellon.com/
With heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kellon for all she does for these magnificent creatures.
A most grateful student,
Claire C. Cox
