“Thank you again for all that you have done for Precious and I. Words do not do justice to the appreciation I feel for all your gentle guidance that has vastly improved our ‘way of going’ and understanding of each other. You have been pivotal to us making a large quantum leap in the last year.”

Breeding Horses by Mina Davies.....More

Written for students and all with a general interest in breeding horses, this book sets out to provide a basic understanding with sufficient practical information for beginners to get started.
Enough reproductive physiology of the mare and stallion is included to clarify the management techniques which are explained later in the book, but unnecessary details are avoided. Artificial insemination and embryo transfer are also explained, as are selecting the broodmare and stallion, management at covering and during pregnancy, and post-partum care of the mare and foal.

Contents

Reproductive anatomy; Control of Reproduction; Selecting and preparing your mare and stallion for breeding; Putting your mare in foal; Management of the pregnant mare; Managing your mare at foaling; Managing the newborn foal and the lactating mare; Managing the older foal and weaning
