Eclectic Classroom: The Science of Supplements with Siobhán Watkins, Ph.D.

Product Description

Can you buy good health for your horse?

The advertisements for horse supplements are ubiquitous and alluring. Promises of shiny coats, well functioning digestive systems and soundness abound. But what does science have to say about all that? Join us for a lively exploration and discussion of how supplements work (or not) in the equine body.

Science can seem daunting, but Dr. Watkins, with her background in college-level genetics and microbiology, makes it accessible.
