Best Foaling Books

[valshingle]

I am wanting to supplement my library. I have Blessed Are The Broodmares and The Miniature Horse: A Veterinary Guide. What foaling books do you find essential? I'm looking for books at the college or post-graduate level, if possible. Also, what other vet books do you like? Particulary in the internal medicine field. Thanks!

Complete Foaling Manual by Theresa Jones is my favorite foaling book. In fact, it's been my bible over the years!

<h1 class="parseasinTitle">[SIZE=12pt]The Complete Book of Foaling: An Illustrated Guide for the Foaling Attendant By Karen Hayes D.V.M.[/SIZE]</h1>

This is the best book I have found. Unfortunately most of the college and text books say something witty like contact your veterinarian! There are a few very technical books in the $100.00 plus range. You can contact me if you want some of those titles.

I perfer this one, too. I must have five or six different books and this one explains everything the clearest. Complete Foaling Manual is second, I found Blessed are the Broodmares to be dated.

Another really good book is "Breeding Management & Foal Developement" by equine Research, Inc - it is an older book, but it has so much information in it that is still very current - it goes into a lot of detail about so many different issues -- it is kind of like a bible -- lots of really dry reading, but also just tons of info. The company also has a great book on horse colors and a couple of others that are very valuable -- might have to special order it nowadays, it was over $100 when I originally bought my copy back in the 1980's - so it might be pretty spendy by now.

"Breeding Management & Foal Developement" by equine Research, Inc

$100?

Wow, Stacy - it never cost that much in my Equine Science Program. We had to get all the books in the series - and the genetics one is probably the best...

Heh - I googled it - and now it sells for $95...

Hah - figures - but I bought it from Mills Tack Shop and they were well known for having spendy stuff - back then Google, Amazon, etc didn't exist, so you bought the books from the people who sold them - primarily tack stores.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I've ordered the Theresa Jones book (Complete Foaling Manual), the Karen Hayes book (The Complete Book of Foaling) and Breeding Management and Foal Development . Stacy, to make you really feel sick, I found Breeding Management and Foal Development new on Amazon for $55! Soon I'll have lots of books to read while waiting for the next mare to foal towards the end of the month.

 

[valshingle]

Well, I didn't think of EBay, but I still feel ok about the $55 (kind of).
