Somewhere along the way, we stopped asking why our horses were struggling.
 
Metabolic syndrome. Laminitis. Gastric ulcers. Chronic disease. Allergies. Conditions we learn to manage rather than resolve. But what if we could do more than manage?
 
Equine Functional Nutrition is not a rejection of veterinary science, but an expansion of it. Drawing from over two decades of clinical experience, Stephanie Carter translates the principles of functional nutrition into a practical framework grounded in fifty-five million years of equine evolution and a species-appropriate, real foods approach.
 
Spanning approximately 350 pages across eighteen chapters with over 25 original illustrations and diagrams, this book covers the six foundations of functional nutrition — digestion, blood sugar regulation, hydration, minerals, fatty acids, and nutrient density — giving you a deeper understanding of how these systems work together and what your particular horse needs to truly thrive.
 
Written for horse owners, veterinarians, and equine professionals alike. Scientific research meets barn-ready wisdom.
 
The horse's body possesses remarkable wisdom. Our job is to support it.
