Complete Holistic Care and Healing for Horses: The Owner's Veterinary Guide to Alternative Methods and Remedies
The popularity of homeopathic medicine has found its way into  veterinary practice, and many horse owners are using alternative  techniques to keep their animals healthy without relying on  pharmaceuticals. Brennan (The Natural Dog) is a competitive  dressage rider and a veterinarian who runs a holistic practice  in Atlanta. She uses a variety of treatments, including  acupuncture, chiropractic, herbs, oils, Bach Flower remedies,  and nutrition, but she is willing to incorporate more  traditional remedies into her practice when necessary. Covered  here are horse care basics: stable management, feeding, exercise  and conditioning, tack and equipment, and first aid and  healthcare. Brennan also presents many case studies from her own  practice, often indicating that alternative treatments proved  successful where conventional methods had been ineffective. With  a thorough index and a handy A-Z guide to common horse ailments,  this well-organized book will be of interest to all horse  owners, especially those seeking a more natural approach to  healthcare.
