This book covers every aspect of equine reproduction from the preperation of a stallion prior to the start of the breeding season all the way through to the care and management of the mare and foal post partum. This book covers in absolute detail, the step by step format of every situation that would or could occur during the 15 to 18 month period that leads from conception to post foaling management. This is a book that every farm manager as well as the weekend horse breeder should have access to 24 hours a day.

I purchased this book to become reacquainted with equine reproduction after spending a year in equine practice without reproduction. The text was direct, succinct, and well-versed without extra details that come with other in-depth textbooks. There are many pictures and diagrams, though I would have preferred to see more present. Overall, I feel that the Manual is a great refresher course for veterinarians and equine reproduction specialists. However, I would not recommend this book as the sole text while learning equine reproduction for the first time.

Lots of info along with lots of picture. Writen like a text book with study questions are begining of each chapter.

A very good text for practical application in breeding. Modern and up to date information, covering all aspects commonly seen.

THIS IS A SIMPLE TEXT,YOU CAN FIND EVERYTHING ABOUT REPRODUCTION EXPLAINED IN A DIDACTIVE WAY.

This is an excellent book for those looking to learn more about the basics of equine reproduction, in an easy to read format. While its technical in nature, it is still easy to understand and packed full of excellent information.

I bought it because its written as a text book style book on breeding, but my husband, a relative novice, follows the content easily too. While its not a new edition, its not dated either.

This book is for the very advanced. It uses all medical terminology and is very basic with details. They assume it is for vet students. There is no glossary and there are highlighted words that they never explain. It is pure awful!!!!
