Book excerpt: Equine Digestion: It's Decidedly Different is about a very basic, very important topic: the physiology of the horse's digestive system. So many aspects of horse health depend on the horseperson understanding the reasons that compel his or her horse's natural diet and eating habits, and many complex health problems can be prevented or alleviated through a deeper understanding of how horses are made on the inside. This book explains the function and form of the digestive tract and shows you how to feed in sync with the way your horse is made. The information presented here will empower you to make the right choices for your horse so you won't need to rely on your neighbor, or the feed store clerk, or conventional wisdom for such vital decision-making. You will know the right way to feed and you'll be able to talk knowledgeably to those involved with your horse's care.
