The philosophy of holism, which works in harmony with natural principles rather than against them, can beneficially be applied to the management of the horse. It embraces many traditional practices, and challenges certain ideas of modern science.

This book explains the concept of holism, and discusses evolution, domestication and man’s relationship with the horse. General care and management, including fitness, are considered in the context of the horse’s mental and physiological needs. Comparisons are made between traditional feeding stuffs and modern manufactured products, and descriptions given of holistic therapies and how they are used to treat common ailments.

By taking an holistic approach, the modern horse-owner can make decisions based on a clear perspective, and can work within a practical framework to enhance the health and welfare of the horse.
