These are some of the comments that Dr. Getty has received in writing, regarding her book, Feed Your Horse Like A Horse and experiences with her feeding recommendations. "This is a well written book on the specific demands of horse's nutrition based on scientific facts and excellent author's explanations of the metabolism involved. The book included important information on different aspects of food, its nutritional value, food components ("basic chemistry"), benefits of good nutrition, and adverse effects of nutritional errors causing diseases. I would highly recommend this book because I value information which is evidence-based (i.e. up-to-date scientific facts) and the content is as comprehensive as possible. You do not need to have background in biology or other similar field to be able to understand and appreciate information and presented data. However, this is not an entirely easy read, you have to reread and go back to certain chapters to memorize and learn the content. The author, Dr. Getty has presented the facts and knowledge she compiled in a fluent style, enabling a less knowledgeable horse-owner (horse-lover) to evaluate, adjust and change his/her's horse's nutrition for the best results and horse's hapiness and health."

"A note to let you know that I have received your book --it is absolutely brilliant. I have not been able to put it down --there is so much useful information and clarification of ingredients, percentages etc etc. It will be a wealth of information for me and to a lot of other people who tend to ask me questions about nutrition. I ride competitively and also teach so am constantly asked for opinions and advice. This book will help no end." Julie, New Zealand "I have purchased many equine nutrition books and subscribe to EQUUS and Horse Journal, and I would say Dr. Getty's book is hands-down the most detailed, comprehensive, factual, and authoritative source of equine nutrition. Before finding Dr. Getty's book, it was really difficult to access a single, comprehensive resource that could answer practically any equine nutrition question that I had. Most volumes that are available to laypeople are thin, sometimes associated with pet food manufacturers with unimpressive credentials, were vague, and shallow in their depth of coverage. I was thinking of trying to find a veterinary textbook on equine nutrition to further my learning, so meager were the resources that I could find. However, once I found Dr. Getty's book, I knew I didn't have to keep buying any more thin booklets on equine nutrition. This book has 20 chapters, covering topics from the fundamentals of carbs, proteins, fats, and minerals, to vitamins, weight management, diseases like laminitis, metabolic disorders like insulin resistance, stress and behavior, and an appendix for helping you to "crunch numbers" for calculating feed plans.

"Dr. Getty, I bought your book and am hooked! Singing its praises and driving people crazy at the same time. Thank you so much for all the wealth of knowledge and all the time you put into helping horses." Jamie, California
"I am so impressed with what you have to say, and how you present it in voice and in writing. I have never come across such an incredible writing style which pulls together a multitude of details, and organizes in a way that makes it feel like I've just been brushed by a refreshing breeze, and then discover I've magically absorbed an encyclopedia full of helpful knowledge without effort. The information you have so eloquently presented is what I've been looking for all of these years and didn't know it." Beverly, California
“Dr. Getty has been helping me with my horses’ diets for a year now and the positive changes have been amazing. Not only do my horses work better (barrel racing) but they look fantastic. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Getty. The expense for hay analysis and nutrition counseling has been made back several times over because I am supplementing only what my horse needs and not what feed and supplement company's tell me I need. Yes there is a big difference in the two. I have read the book 3 times already and it is irreplaceable for someone who wants to provide the best care and nutrition for their equine friends. Thank You, Dr. Getty” Sunny, Oklahoma "I started reading your book a few days ago and I have learned something on every page, even though I have taken on-line courses dealing with horse nutrition. It is proving to be a wonderful book. Thank you." Billy, Florida
“Dr. Getty's new book is one that has been so sorely needed by people who needed to find precise solutions to their horses' unmet needs. It is as if one hundred people have shared their cumulative knowledge and research to produce this volume. Every possible question is answered! Every possible mistake is addressed for the reader and the proper solution is given. I have a wonderful horse who had a traumatic injury about which very little is known. It affects his movement as well as his digestive system and though I've tried many nutritional and medical treatments I have had little confidence in my instincts for treating him. This book has given me such intelligent new avenues to offer him and such clear and precise instruction.” Susan, Nevada “I have been working with Dr. Getty for about one year and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! Her book is a mirror of her. I find myself picking her book up two or three times a day. There is so much good info in her book!!!” Melody, Ohio | |

"Best book on nutrition I have ever read. Dr. Getty explains the whys and wherefores of equine nutrition, presenting the technical information in a readable style. She explains what you should be feeding your horse and why. And because she is not affiliated with any feed companies, you get the straight story. This book encompasses anatomy, physiology, and feed science, and you can tell, in every line, how much she loves horses. Using this book will enable you to feed your horse what it is designed to eat, and also, maximize your feed dollar! Buy this book!” Bird, Hawaii | ||||

" I have owned horses for most of my adult life (I am nearly 60) and I am finding this book to be one of the greatest resources I have ever read on Equine nutrition. It is my belief that every horse owner, barn manager and trainer should read this book; take to heart what is in the printed pages and keep it in the library for easy reference for when a horse doesn't seem quite right and there is just that something that you can't quite put your finger on. Thank you so much Dr. Getty for giving us, the horse owners, this wonderful book based on your years of knowledge and personal involvement with these magnificent creatures called the horse.” Cathi, Texas | |||||
“I am really enjoying Dr. Getty's book. It is very straight forward and easy to understand. My horse has had EPM a number of times in the past -- I wish I would have heard of Dr. Getty sooner.”
Josie, Illinois
“My colt looks and acts like a new little man. He's grown taller, broader and is filling out. He’s happy and much quieter. I cannot believe the transformation.
Thank you.”
Mary, Illinois
Approximately 3 months ago I was told that I would need to put my 17 yr old gelding down due to severe laminitis. I was told there was no hope. Not accepting this I started searching for answers. One morning at 1 a.m., I found a link to Dr. Juliet Getty and emailed her. Dr. Getty's e-mail response was "where there is life there is hope". After a consultation with Dr. Getty and getting sound instruction for my horse’s nutritional needs I'm pleased to say he is not leading a normal life. Hel has gone from not being able to walk or lay down without pain to a level of recovery that I am well pleased with.”
Janet, Oklahoma
“I was aware of Dr. Getty’s dedication to accuracy and detail, however, it was not until I read her published work that I appreciated her skill in making informative reading interesting as well as being so useful. I found this book, which is based on her years of study and research as a university professor, to be not only a potentially excellent textbook but also a wonderful resource book for laymen.”
Marilyn, Colorado
“I LOVE THIS BOOK!! It’s outstanding, brilliant, and full of knowledge. Every horse/pony/mini owner should have this book. There’s even information about mules and donkeys! I’m a horse owner like most of you out there, and I have been with horses for almost 10 years now, and this book has taught me more than those 10 years of experience. I have 3 different horses with very 3 different needs, one is overweight, one is emaciated, and the other just needs to put on muscle. And this book has helped me help my horses in each unique and different way. Dr Juliet Getty is funny, charming and very understanding. By obtaining this book, you increase your horses life, your understanding of horse feed labels, testing hay, how to decrease the starch level in hay, and what safe treats to give, which we need to use in everyday life. There is information on colic, laminitis, abscesses, Cushing’s disease, how to feed the emaciated horse, and things we didn’t know existed! From the top rider, groom, stables manager, equine nutritionist, to a mere rider who goes once a week, this book will help you in ways far greater than you expect, and on those rare occasions where a horse person does need your help, all you have to do is grab this book and its right there! What a miracle book! Thank you, Dr. Getty for writing this book. It has helped me so so so much and I can’t begin to show you my gratitude. My horses are healthy and strong, thanks to you.”
Thank you.

"Feed Your Horse Like A Horse" IS a reference book but it will NOT be gathering dust on your coffee table! It is a MUST read for every veterinarian and horseman covering all aspects of equine nutrition, remedies, supplements and their importance. The materials honor the natural physiological and psychological needs of a horse. Getty shares her experience and expertise making learning easy and enjoyable. The book is beautifully laid out and indexed with user-friendly charts providing invaluable resources to draw upon. In my opinion it belongs in every barn and veterinary clinic to be grabbed up and referred to when questions arise or explanations are needed. Well worth the price! M. M., Wisconsin “I just read her entire book - WHILE I WAS ON VACATION!! Every single horse owner needs to have this book. It may make the difference between really healthy and almost healthy horses.” Elizabeth, New York | |||||||

“Dr. Getty has helped us with so many special needs and injury-related problems. She can answer anything you need to know.” Spring Creek Horse Rescue, Colorado
Gosh, where do I start....I love everything about Dr. Getty's book!! I love the overall theme feeding for health and feeding according to the horse's design. Dr Getty has done an excellent job of combining so much information into one handy reference. The table of contents is superb - the best I have ever seen. It is so handy to look through the 18 page table of contents to go directly to the information that I need. My husband and I have designed a continuous supply hayfeeder, and we sell Dr. Getty's book right beside the hayfeeders. How perfect. Thank you Dr Getty, for all of your hard work in helping us horse owners do right for our equine friends.” Julie, Iowa |

“I ordered this book after listening to Dr. Getty on a teleworkshop conducted by Joe Camp on equine nutrition. I have 7 horses and one of them has EMS so I have been researching diet and nutrition information for horses in general and especially for my compromised horse. I got the book, started reading and could not put it down. I found more information in one chapter of her book than I have found in 6 months of researching the web. The book is easy to read, easy to understand, and gives you enough information that you feel you can do something with to help your horses. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has a horse or is thinking of getting one. If you don’t have a horse but you have a friend who does...it would make a great gift." Susan
"My easy keeper is doing beautifully on her new all-you-can-eat diet. I do believe she has indeed lost weight. And my TB is gaining, there's been no gassy colic, so it's a win/win. They both seem in much better moods, too." Rebecca, West Virginia
