Blessed Are The Brood Mares

Rating:
Summary: Pleasant and informative
Review: Provides people new to breeding a good overall view of the process. It is easy to read and a good reference. This is not the highly technical manual that would turn away the amatuer. At the same time it lacks depth to be a truly serious resource.

Summary: Best Book Around
Review: This book is a must have for anyone who has even considered breeding a mare. This book helped lower my blood pressure and warded off gray hairs the first time I bred and foaled out a mare. It had me so well prepared (and I had an animal science degree, too)! It is, by far, the best foaling book I've read.

Summary: A MUST have for anyone breeding their mare!
Review: This book is a MUST have if you have bred your mare or are thinking about it. It is the ONLY book you'll need. Great photos and a check list to help you tell when the foal is coming. We tell all of our clients that they NEED this book.

Summary: Great book saved my foal!
Review: This book, although it is a little outdated in many of the techniques, is a great resource for the occasional breeder. More than anything else, it makes you realize the enormity of breeding and birthing a healthy foal, and keeping the mare sound too. The section on the mare's reproductive tract is excellent. I wish she were a little more specific on treatment procedures: The book is more a loosely strung narrative by subject than an organized reference volume.
