problems that horse owners experience.  Her topics are based on the types of questions she receives every day on her "Ask the Nutritionist " forum.  

This free forum allows horse owners to write in questions about how to feed their horses for specific needs.  Conditions such as insulin resitance, obesity, laminitis, 

underweight, old age, pregnancy, growth, and arthritis, to name a few, are brought up in her forum.  These health conditions are described in detail, along with the feeding 

recommendations, in her upcoming book.  Case studies are also provided, to illustrate how her advice has made dramatic changes in her 

horse-clients' lives.  Horseowners will find this book an invaluable reference for all life stages and conditions that their horses experience.
