Book excerpt: A step-by-step guide to breeding your mare, caring for her during pregnancy, and looking after her and her foal during the first few months of the foal's life. As the cost of buying a horse goes up, and with increased interest in training a young horse, more and more people are considering breeding their own animals. Beginning with initial decisions, including whether your mare is suitable breeding stock, the authors address pre-breeding mare care, breeding methods (live cover versus artificial insemination or embryo transplant), stallion selection, and negotiating the breeding contract. Chapters on pregnancy cover broodmare care throughout the gestation period, with an emphasis on recognizing early trouble signs and ways to improve the chances of a healthy mare and foal. With regard to birth, the authors offer suggestions on creating a foal-friendly environment, learning the signs that indicate an impending birth, detailing both routine and problem deliveries, and the foal's crucial first twenty-four hours.

Book excerpt: Foals imprint on their mothers and are guided by instinct. But over time, they get accustomed to humans and can be reared to become trusting, faithful playmates and companions. Therefore, establishing good behavior at the outset is fundamental to creating a well-adjusted adult horse. The authors of this book, using their extensive experience and personal stories, explain how to balance natural behavior with training methods to develop a well-behaved horse. The approach is knowledgeable and patient and is based on the mutual respect between horse and rider. Key exercises are explained in the text by a variety of photos, and these can also be used with older horses. The practical topics covered include vaccination, hoofcare, herd behavior, feeding, and housing. The reader is guided through the health, well-being, training, education, and attitude of the first three years of a horse's life, with a focus on building trust throughout. Foals and Young Horses is a useful guide for horse owners, riders, and breeders. It will also be of interest to equine science students and para-professionals
