Older horses are like part of the family. Many owners still take care of the horses and ponies they had when they were younger. And these horses don't ask for much--just a place to live, food to eat, and a little love and attention. But owners can do more for their older equine friends. Written by Dr. Robert E. Holland, who drew upon his veterinary work as well as his childhood experiences caring for an older horse, UNDERSTANDING THE OLDER HORSE emphasized the importance of developing a complete and consistent wellness management program to fit each horse's needs.
