Hands down, the best foaling attendant book.......2007-07-22
As far as I'm concerned, this book is required reading for all foaling attendants. Thank you Dr. Karen Hayes for writing it. The book covers a single topic, and does it better than any of the other foaling guides I've read (and I've read quite a few). Those other foaling guides are on a bookshelf; this is the book that goes in the foaling kit! It has saved our farm from disaster on more than one occasion. Dr. Hayes clearly, calmly and concisely communicates the important facts and techniques the foaling attendant needs to know. The detailed diagrams make all the difference in illuminating exactly what is going on at each stage of parturition. Detailed descriptions of what's normal and what's not, techniques for resolving problems before they become critical, and advice on what to attempt yourself and when to call the vet are invaluable. You will find other fine books about breeding, mare care and foal care, but this is the best book on the actual process of protecting and caring for your mare when it's time to deliver her foal. Dr. Hayes' more general horse care [...].is also highly recommended.
Good information, but..........2007-05-15
I would like to have more information regarding what to do next. The information was good, and the illustrations are helpful, but I needed to buy another book to help with what to do with the foal once it had arrived.
Great Book....Answered lots of questions.......2007-03-26
This book was shipped quickly and just in time....I had about 5 reading days before my first foal was born. I highly recommend this book to all breeders.

A gift for my Father.......2007-02-08
My Father liked the book very much. Could not stop reading it. He is buying a copy for my brother who actually does the foaling at the horse farm.

Horse handbook & Toy .......2007-07-04
Hi all, the book itsef is very very good. It helps introducing the horse world vocabulary...which usually we do not use a lot. However the toy is not good quality. Arrived already broken and if you hit even not so strong it breaks. My son was a bit disapointed with this but liked the book.
Real information and a Real Cute Horse.......2007-05-30
This is a nice little package for a kid old enough to read for info and adept enough to manipulate craft materials. Beautifully designed, the little soft cover book gives some real and ueseful information about the nature of horses. The package is charming, will romance any horse-loving young person and sneak in some horse-reality at the same time.
My very own horse book.......2007-03-08
The book comes with a plastic horse. The horse had an ear broke off and a scratch on the body when it arrived.
The best horse product yet!.......2006-11-26
This was sooooooooooooooo cool!!!!! I LOVED taking care of the buetifally crafted horse that came with the book! and you will not believe this! It comes with these high-quality materials,like really soft leather to make your own special blanket, bridle, and, you will not believe this- a REAL english saddle! plus, this also comes with a fence and stall for your horse! How amazing is that?! It also comes with this cute labled Tack glue! but that's not all! The book gives you all extremely facsinating and exciting imformation that could ever be involved with horses! I'm going to keep this horse forever and pass it on to my whole family!!!!!!!!!

Customer Reviews:
Good book for someone looking for a broad range of info.......2007-09-20
A lot of information in this book. It covers just about everything. I was hoping for a little more information on feeding, but overall a good buy. One note: if you are looking for tack and riding info, this book focuses mostly on english riding. There is very little reference to western riding.
Good reference book on horses.......2007-01-12
I bought this book for my daughter who just loves horses. She really enjoys having me read it to her and looking at the pictures. It is a good general reference book for people wanting to learn more about horses.
Excellent Start.......2007-01-03
I found this book to be quite interesting, I bought it as a gift for a friend who is just getting in to horses, and looked it over before giving it. Although most of it is basic, it is not condescending towards the reader, and has many interesting facts. I even learned a few things, and have been a horse person for over 17 years. The photo's chosen to accompany the work are usually helpful, and overall this is an excellent book for someone getting started with horses.
Excellent for new riders.......2005-12-16
This is a great book for first learning about horses, how to care for them, feeding, symptoms of illnesses, and it's simple to read and understand. It gives the basics for people who might want to own a horse for the first time so that you can know what to watch out for and take the best care of your horse. I'd recommend this book for first time horse owners, and for people working with horses for the first time. It's comprehensive and gives you a lot of great info.
1 of the best out of the rest!.......2005-03-31
This horse book was awesome! I will be taking riding lessons this summer and this book helped me get a head start on horse care, like grooming, feed, tack and much,much more! It's a great book for any horse lover even if you don't have or ride a horse. This book makes it a fun, simple way to learn about how to take care of a horse! This is one of my favorite horse care guides out of all of them!

The Complete Guide to Horses.......2005-05-13
This Complete Guide by Mary Gordon Watson is for any horse-loving person. It is filled with lots of facts such as how the horse functions and moves, many of the diseases they come in contact with, and much more! If you want to know how to care for a horse or need information about buying one, this is the one to choose. It tells you what to look for such as weight, vices, temperament, correct symmetrical proportions, etc. The fantastic pictures range from small to large and are all in color! Also, they really bring the horses to life and help you to better understand the descriptions. This is an awesome book and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves horses!
Perfect beginner book on the horse.......2004-12-10
I personally own this book and plan to purchase another one to give as a gift to a lady who runs a riding stable. She teaches younger riders and beginner adults. It is a nice addition to her library. It's beautifully done with prints, photographs, and general information on the breeds, different sports, health and care of the noble animal we know as the horse. If this is a consideration for purchase, I rate this as an excellent buy.
Excellent overview for the novice.......2001-09-02
Although no one area is covered in any great depth, it provides enough general knowledge to point the reader in the right direction for further research. General areas include basic physio information, care, tack ,feeding, health issues and diseases, an overview of various equestrian disciplines, and probably the most comprehensive (and well photographed) listing of known breeds with brief descriptions of each.
My 11 yr.-old daughter (new horse owner) was given a copy for her birthday last year and it is almost in tatters from constant use!
Very complete.......2001-01-02
This is a very complete book on horses. My daughter has spent much time pouring over it.

The Complete Guide to Horse Care.......2000-08-15
Not a book for the beginner. Used too many terms without giving any reference. I had to refer to other books just to find out what the author was talking about. Alot of medical, longwinded jargon that isn't useful in real life when a simplified, straight-forward description would suffice. If you have a horse and you want to learn how to take care of your charge I would not recommend this book to do it. Great book for a medical student.
The Best!.......2000-07-22
I loved this book and it was really good to have around the house when the horses were there. It told and taught me tons that I didn't know, even though I have been riding forever
