Feeding And Nutrition Of Horses The Making Of A Champion

Education & Reference Science & Nature Sport & Recreation

Feeding and Nutrition of Horses: The Making of a Champion distills veterinarian John Kohnke’s practical advice on balancing rations for everything from pony club mounts to elite performance horses. First released in 1998, this illustrated trade paperback remains a go-to reference for riders, trainers, and barn managers who want clear explanations of protein, vitamins, and feeding schedules without wading through dense textbooks.

The pages are crisp and unmarked, free of dog-ears and underlining, so diagrams of body-condition scoring and sample diets stay easy to read. A tight binding means the book lies flat on the tack-room feed bin while you double-check nutrient ratios. Only light cover wear and a tiny pen mark inside the front hint at its previous stable life.

Ideal for young adults taking charge of their first horse or adults fine-tuning a competition barn, Kohnke blends animal welfare principles with real-world economics, making nutrition decisions straightforward and budget-friendly. Add this well-preserved copy to your equestrian library and give your horse the advantage science-backed feeding can deliver.
