Holistic Horsekeeping by Dr. Madalyn Ward

While modern medicine focuses primarily on treating symptoms, Dr. Ward always looks at the horse as a whole and aims for a true cure. Holistic Horsekeeping gives you practical strategies for dealing with common horse care issues including:
* Digestive and immune support
* Non-chemical solutions to common chronic problems
* Tips for reducing stress in your performance horse

Yvonne: One of my favorite books -- this very comprehensive book has wonderful recommendations for more natural horse care, including nutrition and supplements, hoof care, joint health, homeopathic remedies, vaccinations, parasite control and holistic first aid. Covers equine disease and illness, and the holistic approach to their treatment. Includes a special section on performance horses. This book is excellent, both as an introduction to holistic horse care, and as a comprehensive handbook for the more advanced natural horsekeeper.

The Treatment of Horses by Homeopathy
(2005 Edition)
by George Macleod MRCVS, DVSM, Vet FF Hom
Revised and updated 2005 by Nick Thompson, BSc(Hons) Path Sci, BVM&S, Vet MF Hom, MRCVS

The Treatment of Horses by Homeopathy
by George Macleod (Revised by Nick Thompson)

George MacLeod's The Treatment of Horses by Homoeopathy is considered an all-time classic, and the only comprehensive book available on this topic. However, the original edition was a bit cumbersome and advanced for many horseowners, often new to the concept of homeopathy. This brilliant revised edition has smoothed over those rough edges, without taking anything away. Now we have an owner-friendly guide, updated and modernized! Homeopathy is safe, easy to administer, and has no side effects, and should be part of every horseowner's knowledge base. This is a must have book!

This new edition has been comprehensively updated by Nick Thompson, a leading homeopathic vet in the United Kingdom -- and important to us, a barefoot advocate! Here is a quote from the introduction to "Fore Leg Lameness" chapter: "If you are experiencing these problems [fore leg lamenesses] a review of bare foot trimming may be of use. Equine podiatry is an expanding field that offers potential, especially when used in conjunction with homeopathic remedies."

This edition offers accessible advice on treating a wide range of equine diseases and disorders, including many relatively modern conditions such as post-viral fatigue, COPD and sweet itch. It also includes an extended materia medica, guidance on creating an effective homoeopathic first aid kit and many other helpful resources. 254pp; paperback

"Every horse owner should have this essential book to hand." Margrit Coates, author of Healing for Horses and Horses Talking

Homeopathic Care for Cats and Dogs: Small Doses for Small Animals by Don Hamilton, DVM

Don't be fooled by the name, this book covers the basic principles of homeopathy for ALL animals, including horses. This is the most thorough reference book available for animal owners on homeopathy. Written specifically for owners, in an easy to understand language. The introductory chapters alone -- which cover the historical development of homeopathy, homeopathic philosphy, and the nature of disease and nature of cure -- are well worth the price of this book. Includes general guidelines to using homeopathy at home, when you can give remedies, and when you should seek veterinary help. Includes remedy suggestions for a variety of conditions, and a "materia medica" tailored to animals.

A MUST READ - Outstanding is the chapter, "Vaccination: Helpful or Harmful?"

Softcover, 482 pages (big book!).
