Foaling/Breeding Books

[MillionDollar]

Can anyone suggest a really good foaling/breeding book please?
I particularly want information of the actual foaling and the care of the foal.

Thanks, Claire

From Foal to Full Grown by Janet Lorch. Its an excellent book that goes through everything you need to know. From choosing the right stallion through to foaling and eventually the preparation for backing.

As above - Brill book, helped me when I was a first time mum

I agree to with From Foal To Full Grown, helped me out a lot.

From Foal to Full Grown is excellent, also there is one called "From Birth to Backing"

Also a good vet book helps, well OK you might get paranoid and check "symptoms" every five mins but nice to have the back up! We have a copy of the A-Z of horses health and there is lots of stuff in there - what size the foal is as it develops and all sorts.

IMO the best book on the market - easy to read, good photos & diagrams, yet very informative, is "The Horse From Conception To Maturity", by Peter Rossdale - of Rossdales in Newmarket!!

This is a paperback copy of it - I had this, but it was nicked by someone in KY, so I now have the updated hardback one - has colour pics!

Ha ha, so you mean Newmarket is to Sportznight as Cleveland Bay is to Stinkerstonkersmum???!!!

Have a good look on Amazon, usually get some good deals on there, or I think there is a site called the Book Depository? (sp?)

*Nodding*.....another vote for Peter Rossdale's. That book was my bible when taking all my stud exams.

Would also buy the other as it is perhaps easier reading although not quite as in depth.
