In this transcribed and edited teleseminar, Dr. Getty discusses the many benefits of adding to the horse's forage foundation with nutritious, natural sources of protein, fats, vitamins and minerals. Beets, berries, and bananas, pumpkins, peanuts, and more-Dr. Getty covers the myriad choices of natural foods that can boost the nutrition in the daily diet and add interest to feeding times. Whole foods aren't only for humans any more. Here's how to use them safely to round out the horse's diet for optimal health. About the Author Juliet M. Getty, Ph.
