Easy Keeper: Making It Easy to Keep Him Healthy - Paperback

by Juliet M. Getty Ph. D. (Author)

Equine obesity is a difficult yet highly common issue all over the world, and in the Easy Keeper Teleseminar transcribed here, we look at the causes, prevention and solutions. Research on equine obesity started with studies on human obesity, looking at elements like hormonal responses, etc. Then the research moved to horses and found that the drivers of weight issues for people are, for the most part, the same as for horses. Easy Keeper offers four keys to successful equine weight management that not only work, but bring benefits far beyond reducing a horse's girth.
