Beyond the Hay Days: Refreshingly Simple Horse Nutrition
By Rex A. Ewing
Updated and expanded 2nd edition
Published by PixyJack Press
Have you ever wanted to know how to balance your horse's feed ration? Maybe not, but you've probably wondered at least once if you were covering all the bases in his daily rations. Or, perhaps you've heard about some of the debilitating effects that over-supplementing can have and you're wondering if you may be doing more damage than good. If so, then this is the book to help you answer those questions.
The text is easy to digest and reads like an expanded magazine article. It delivers information in a concise, conversational manner, from an author who is a life-long rancher and who also happened to be CEO of a world-renowned company that produces horse nutrition products. You get the depth of information to make informed decisions, the formulas that make it work, and none of the stuff that makes your head spin.
Plus, kudos to the publisher for the book design – the text and tables are pleasant and easy-to-read, with quick facts pulled out on each page.
