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.
