In this new book from award-winning horsecare author Dr. Karen Hayes, find out how to elevate the quality and vibrancy of your horse's life, while also helping to broaden his life span, with ten steps that are practical and proven, but not particularly well known in the horse world. Based on solid research and clinical experience, the earlier you apply these steps to your horse, the greater will be your rewards. Whether your horse's value is emotional, financial, or a combination of the two'. Whether he's three years old or thirty'. If you want him to live the full extent of his natural lifespan ? and then some ? in brilliant, optimal health and soundness, then You Need To Read This New Book.Organized into ten hands-on steps that are clearly explained ? the whys as well as the hows ? Help Your Horse Live A Good, Long Life will teach you not only what you can do to better meet your horse's needs, but also what you should not do.There are a lot of things we do, with all good intentions, that inadvertently encourage premature aging in our horses ? exactly the opposite of what we mean to do. With the information in this book, you'll understand what it takes to avoid those pitfalls and give your horse the best possible chance at sparkling, vibrant health and a life free of discomfort and disability, from this moment and all the way through his senior years.Because of its bonus section on the latest news about insulin resistance, laminitis, and equine Cushing's syndrome, this book is the official supplement to the major senior horse care reference book, Hands-On Senior Horse Care.As Dr. Hayes says about her own elderly horses, ?I understand that the day will come when I can no longer protect them against the effects of aging. I accept that. But not a minute sooner. In 26 years as a veterinarian, and 52 years as a horseman, I've learned a lot about keeping horses young, and I've condensed it into the practical, hands-on steps found in this little book.'
