In the FALL book of 'Keep Your Horse in Sync with the Seasons', Dr. Cassie focuses on which whole foods to use and "why" as your horse goes through the stress of dropping temperatures and shorter days. This book set has been in my head for several years and I'm thrilled to say that it's finally a finished project! Through the struggles of cancer and treatment, to recovering and regaining my strength both physically and mentally, I pushed through to reach my goal of sharing this information with others. My passion - for both animals and people - is teaching how "real" food heals "real" bodies. In these seasonal books, I have taken the science and synergy of whole foods and created meaningful recipes to address typical health issues your horse faces with each season. For instance, the SPRING book addresses seasonal allergies, hormonal surges from lengthening days, preventing gas and bloat from new spring grasses, and more. Followed by SUMMER, this book addresses hot weather issues such as adequate hydration, heat stress, dealing with horses who live in dry conditions, and more. The FALL and WINTER books follow suit and address conditions typical in those seasons. Each seasonal book will have it's own recipe for gut health and probiotic support. Each season includes bonus recipes for parasite control. There are Success Stories to highlight health issues and I share with you what recipes I used to overcome them. My goal in this seasonal cookbook series with whole foods, is to teach you how to combine herbs, spices, nuts/seeds, vegetables, and fruits into significant combinations that will support your horse's gut while building immunity and creating a nutritional reserve to stave off illness and disease. I hope the contents of my books open a dialog between you and me, you and your vet, you and other horse lovers, and motivate you to integrate your current feeding routine with healthy choices of whole foods. Dr. Cassie Schuster, Equine Naturopath, Certified Nutritionist, and Master Herbalist guides you through 13 recipes whose seasonal foods support your horse's gut, immune system, hoof health, and much more. In addition, you'll find a section on 'Offering New Foods to Your Horse', as well as two recipes for parasite prevention.
