There's much to see here. So, take your time, and look around.
I share sites that are not so much about marketing and more about learning.
Criteria for including a website link are that there are articles and the site is in keeping with a whole horse approach.
I'm constantly adding to this page.
I hope this part of my website becomes a
"Who's Who" in Whole Horse Care.
When it comes to feed I'd like to caution folks to rely on independent sources for their information and not the Feed Companies so much. I prefer to use people who are not so liable to be selling something.
The publication which is put out by the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP).
The website is packed full of information and has a handy search bar too. Not all Veterinarians are well versed in nutrition unless it was a special interest that they pursued either in Vet School or after they were in practice. Like everything, you need to seek out someone who is well-versed in nutrition.
By Eleanor Kellon VMD. Offering online courses on many equine nutrition topics. Among the listings are a metabolic class and a neuro and muscular disease class. The courses are moderately priced for the help you may gain from them.
Dr. Kellon is known as an authority on the topics she teaches.

By Juliet Getty, Ph.D. Articles on a wide variety of horse-feeding and horse-keeping topics. 12 recorded Webinars, and a couple of podcasts are available. She has an extensive list of products she endorses for various health issues. There's a handy "Shop by Condition" tab, so you don't have to go through everything you aren't interested in.
From diagnosis, to feeding, to farriery. A wealth of information. Because it is a laminitis site there is a lot about equine metabolic syndrome. Some of the articles are very "sciencey" while others are pretty common. Something for everyone I guess.
Safer Grass features many articles. Articles about sugar in grass and hay, laminitis, Equine Metabolic Syndrome, PPID, and PSSM
Dr. Ramey has put together a "Quick and Dirty" synopsis of six common situations where a special diet is in order. It's from 2017, and feeding ideas change rather quickly with ongoing research. So keep that in mind. There might now be something that would work better.
This is a midwestern farrier school with a home base in Illinois. https://mackinawdells2.com/index.html
The method is about healing the feet, not just putting something on to make the horse sound, with no plan to get the horse out of shoes.
There are some great Webinars on YouTube with Wendy Murdoch and Ida Hammer (of Mackinaw Dells), that you really should find time to watch. Search YouTube for Wendy Murdoch Ida Hammer.
This website contains a library of articles and a section with rehab pictures. While some of the articles may be too technical for the average horse owner, it's amazing how quickly you may become above-average.

Dr. Bowker does not have a personal Website that I can find. He is affiliated with the University of Michigan. There are some excellent webinars with him, again on Wendy Murdoch's YouTube, if you search Wendy Murdoch Robert Bowker.
Dr. Teskey could be listed in all my categories—especially farriery and dentistry. Dr. Teskey is a Holistic Veterinarian. He wasn't always. He understands Farriery and its relationship to dentistry and the resulting performance issues that arise from those two things.
His book is amazing. It will be on the book list further down in the resources. There are also articles on his website.

Would you expect your MD to take care of your teeth? No.
While some Veterinarians have taken additional studies or residencies in Equine Dentistry, some may be good. You can get an Equine Dentist who understands the relationship of dental balance to hoof balance to a balanced horse.
There is only one school that I am aware of in the country that teaches neuromuscular dentistry.

Jim Masterson has invented his own type of therapy. It's considered massage, but it is so much more. He has excellent resources both on his website and on YouTube. I think all horse owners should know how to do a little massage for their horses. Horses working and training should receive more attention to their athletic body than most people will hire. It would benefit both horses and riders if t to do a little bodywork and include it in day-to-day work.
Joann Wilson is the only person who teaches pure Jack Meagher Sports Massage. The original.
Joann offers courses in Maine and has several resources to learn from, which are on her website. Check out her articles.
She also has an excellent instructional book.
