Peter Huntington – författare

Horse Sense provides an in-depth guide to horse care under conditions unique to Australia and New Zealand. It is written in an easy-to-read style to appeal to novices as well as experienced owners and covers all aspects of horse care and management.

This edition provides the latest information on new feeds and supplements, techniques for handling horses, safe riding, and treating injuries, diseases, worms and other pests. The book also incorporates the latest standards and guidelines for the welfare of horses.

This concise handbook provides evidence-based, practical horse nutrition accessible

to all readers. Standing out from very dense, theoretical and practical horse

nutrition books, it arms equine students, veterinary students and horse owners

with practically applicable information, bringing theory and practice together.

At the end of each chapter, veterinarian and equine nutrition experts Dr Gulsah

Kaya Karasu and Dr Peter Huntington provide guidance on practical applications,

calculations and the real-life use of information. For example, how is gastric ulcer

formation triggered by traditional horse feeding? How can the risk of gastric ulcer

formation be reduced with evidence-based feeding?

Divided into four parts, the book covers the horse’s digestive system, types of

feeds, formulating rations, and nutrition-related health disorders. Its scientifically

validated, practical information will be invaluable for horse owners, students and

trainers, equine nutritionists and practitioners within the equine industry.
