Product Description
When Blessed Are The Blood Mares was published in 1978, no other single source existed that contained such a wide range of information on the care of the breeding of mare from mating, through gestation, to foaling and nursing, and on the care of the young horse. Now there is: the second edition of this classic.

The only foaling book you need,
This review is from: Blessed Are The Brood Mares (Hardcover)
I have bought this book 3 times. I loan it out and it doesn't come back! My vet told me not to read this book because it would scare me as I waited for my mare to foal. That's not the case at all. This book prepares you for foaling. It helps you avoid errors which could have a bad outcome. The anecdotes are a bonus. I know its an older book but the contents are still relevant in 2011. My mare foals in June this year...wish me luck!

Blessed are the broodmares,
This review is from: Blessed are the Brood MA (Paperback)
My veterinarian recommended this book as I am first time "mare to foal" owner. This book is very thorough in all aspects of a mare's pregnancy, foaling and post partum. Easy for a non medical person to read. I highly recommend it for all horse owners.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Pleasant and informative,
This review is from: Blessed Are The Brood Mares (Hardcover)
Provides people new to breeding a good overall view of the process. It is easy to read and a good reference. This is not the highly technical manual that would turn away the amatuer. At the same time it lacks depth to be a truly serious resource.
