Review
"Catherine Bird discusses such therapies in conjunction with traditional treatments. The well-indexed book includes a glossary and additional resources."--Western Horseman

"Overall, detailed, how-to and why-for information make this book a sensible addition to any horse owner's library."--The Gaited Horse

"Most appealing is Bird's organization of her text and her three-dimensional coverage of each therapy. The writing style is friendly, and the instructions are simple." --The Chronicle of the Horse

From the Back Cover
Just as more and more people are embracing a natural approach to their health and well-being, many horse owners are turning to ways they can use natural therapies with their horses. A Healthy Horse the Natural Way provides a complete approach to horse health, covering: herbs, massage, aromatherapy, homeopathy, Bach flower remedies, biochemic tissue salts, vibrational healing/energy fields, and perhaps, most important, how and when to use a combination of these therapies and when to use them in conjunction with veterinary treatment.
Natural therapies can improve your horse's vitality and quality of life, bring balance to the body systems and emotions, help prevent illness, and assist in the long-tem management of chronic diseases. This practical handbook will help you interpret your horse's health issues as they arise, and go beyond merely treating the symptoms to find the underlying cause.
