I have had problems breeding my mares for years and was tired of paying the local veterinarian a fortune. I am sure I pay for his vacation every year! I bought the book and read through it. I was surprised at how easy it was to read and the worksheets were superb. I took the advice and followed the steps. I have three pregnant mares! Thank you!

I've been trying to to conceive with a mare for years, but it just hasn't been working. I purchased this book, and I've had happy breeding experiences ever since!

A true 'must-have!'

I found this book to be very informative. The language used is suitable for "1st-timers" and is easily understood. This book is an essential tool for every horse breeder that uses A.I., both mare and stallion owners.

I really enjoyed this book. I learned how to get my mare ready to be bred. I found out the correct ways to handle semen, and this was very important! My vet had been mishandling it! No wonder we had a no conception rate. I learned a great deal about breeding contracts, an area I needed help in. The troubleshooting area is a gem. I think that the best part about this book is the many helpful worksheets, they are great. I love this book!

This book was easy to read and understand. I learned a lot of shipped semen terms and definitions. I can now understand what my veterinarian means. The worksheets helped me so much that my mare is in foal! I would recommend this book to add to your horse breeding library.

As a mare and stallion owner, this book is a great resource for making sure both my mares, and outside mares have a great experience. There is some great information on making sure the mare is properly prepared, and what to expect, which as a stallion owner I am glad to see, as I have to explain to mare owners a lot of this.
However, other than one very short section on collection, there is little information for stallion owners.
The inforemation on costs, contracts, and supplies were very informative, and I will keep this book handy throughout the breeding season.
If you are a mare owner planning to breed, get this book!! If you are a stallion owner just starting out, this will be a great resource.

I had been trying to get a conception with my mare for years and could not figure out the problem. With this book, I was able to get the conception on the first try. Thank you Pennie!

All first-timers should have a copy of this book. It helped me have a relatively painless, sucessful breeding experience. My best advice other than getting this book, is to know who you are getting your semen from because there are a lot of semen "wranglers" out there who aren't the best handlers.

I loved this book. I found it very easy to read and understand. I considered NOT buying it due to a review from someone else who said the Terminology was hard to understand. But, I am so glad I did not listen to that review. The author literally took me by the hand and said OK this is what you do and walked me through the whole process. She gave me great worksheets to assist me. I cannot say enough! This book uses kindergarten language for a tough topic. Superb!

I enjoyed the book thoroughly. It is easy to read, and very informative.
