  The prospect of breeding horses at home may seem attractive, but in fact the whole exercise is fraught with potential problems. Perhaps you have a pony mare who is now too small for your children, but which is a family friend. Would it be sensible to breed from her? Where should you start? What about a good stallion? How long does a full pregnancy last? How do you cope with a new-born foal? What about weaning and foal care? These are among the many questions addressed in this book, which offers straightforward advice for the owner of a single mare and the inexperienced breeder.
