Do you have a pregnant mare? Are you looking for information to prepare yourself for when she goes into labor and delivers her foal? I searched the internet when my mare was pregnant - I found a photo here and an illustration there, but I wanted more I wanted pictures describing the words I was reading. What does "waxing" look like? Can I recognize a contraction when it happens? What does "normal" look like? "Birth of a Foal" contains over 100 photos graphically showing what a normal labor and delivery entails. If you know what to expect, you will be better prepared in case you need to assist your mare in foaling or call a veterinarian for help. This is an important book to have on your horse information shelf. Great photos
