Holistic Horsekeeping Dr Madalyn Ward

[Marianne]

Ik correspondeer al bijna twee jaar met mijn Amerikaanse paardenarts-vriendin Madalyn Ward. Zij is holistisch paardenarts en houdt het op de 'natural approach'. Ze heeft ook een site "Holistichorsekeeping.com"waar je vele interessante artikelen kunt vinden. Onlangs heeft ze een boek uitgebracht ( sommigen die de site al kennen zullen ook de nieuwsbrief ontvangen hebben) met allerlei thema's die voor de paardenhouder interessant kunnen izijn. Als je geen moeite hebt met de engelse taal, dan is het boek een aanrader. Je kunt het via haar site bestellen - met verzendkosten komt dat op USDollar 29,95. Betalen kan alleen met creditcard.

Vandaag ontvangen. Ziet er zeer veelbelovend uit bij doorbladeren en ik wil het meteen kado geven aan de holistische chropractor die ik heb (http://www.lvchiron.nl)

Alles wat er al was staat er in! Maar dan geordend en duidelijk. Zeer interessant en waardevol boek imo.
