About the Book

Natural Methods for Equine Health and Performance, Second Edition, presents an overview of a natural approach to horse care and management for the 21st century. It provides sensible and readable advice on natural horsemanship, contrasting natural and domestic habitats. A range of holistic methods of treatment are covered, including acupuncture, massage, herbalism, homeopathy, and schooling exercises used by the Classical School. Mary Bromiley has an excellent reputation for achieving results using natural methods for muscle re-education. This book will be useful to anyone who owns or routinely works with horses.

Review :
"This excellent book combines the concepts of natural horsemanship with the author's documented expertise in equine physical therapy." (Doody's, September 2009) "From acupuncture and massage to homeopathy, it's packed with applied alternative medicine that's been tested in the field." (Midwest Book Review, July 2009) "The ideas that Mary provides on these pages are priceless? Her concepts are of a no nonsense nature and are based on the common sense facts of a natural approach." — From the foreword by Monty Roberts, the Man Who Listens to Horses
