In this delightful yet highly practical handbook for the novice
breeder, experienced stud owner Jane van Lennep describes the
pleasures and perils of breeding a foal and takes the reader step
by step through the whole process. Beginning with an evaluation of
the mare, the choice of a stallion, and a look at what happens at
stud, the book continues with advice on how to care for the in-foal
mare and looks in detail at the three stages of labour, the common
problems and how to deal with them, and the care of the foal for
the first few vital hours. Handling, weaning, castration, paddock
and stable management are explained in detail, and there is
valuable information on the care of youngstock from one to three
years plus expert hints on showing the mare and foal. Illustrated
with superb colour photographs, this well established and highly
successful volume, First Foal, will delight anyone who has ever
contemplated taking their mare to stud, and Jane van Lennep's
reassuring and easy-to-read text will help assuage the fears of the
most apprehensive first-time breeder.
