This book provides a valuable source of information for all aspects of equine feeding and nutrition. An indispensable guide for all higher education equine students. A very informative reference book that discusses up to date research and contains detailed and well laid out figures and tables and a useful list of abbreviations. Self-test questions at the end of chapters allow the reader to check their understanding and knowledge. Comprehensive reference lists throughout allows for further reading and study.

The level of information contained in several chapters may put readers off as some aspects are very detailed. The self-test questions could have model answers as this would allow learners to test their knowledge and help them improve exam technique. This is however a must-have book for higher education equine students. A wealth of information is contained and is essential for developing subject knowledge and understanding of equine nutrition.
