Nutrition EbookDirect Download! (Pdf, 389 kB)
This 27 page ebook by Madalyn Ward, DVM offers a holistic approach to equine nutrition. Topics covered include effects of nutrition, supplements, antioxidants, feeding the fat horse and the thin horse, joint health and more.
Your horse is a unique individual and has his own quirks and traits. Your horse also has a specific temperament type, as described by the Horse Harmony Book and Website.
Health-wise, each of the types is prone to different ailments and illnesses. For example, the ultra-competitive Wood horse tends to suffer injuries to the tendons and ligaments, as well as being a prime candidate for intestinal ulcers. The Metal horse, on the other hand, has extremely strong tendons and ligaments, but often suffers from breathing and lung issues, such as heaves. Luckily, by following a specific feeding program designed to bolster the health weaknesses of each type, most of these conditions can be prevented or alleviated.
This 51 page ebook covers specific guidelines for feeding each of the main Five-Element Temperament types of Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. For each type, this ebook outlines a nutritionally solid diet,including feed, supplements, fruits, vegetables, spices, vitamins, and minerals. In addition, each chapter offers specific recipes for immune, digestive, uro-genital, and musculo-skeletal support. With this ebook you will be able to design a custom feeding program designed to enhance your horse's strengths while bolstering his constitutional weaknesses.

This ebook is excellent for horse owners striving for a deeper and more harmonious relationship with their horses. The ebook opens with an introduction to the Five Element approach:
There are many approaches to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but the Five-Element approach is unique in that it includes the idea that each of us, animal or human, represents a “constitutional type,” exhibiting certain physical and emotional traits that are specific to that type. Viewing the individual from this perspective can also be applied to horses, thus facilitating a better understanding of any given horse’s nature and needs.
