Horse breeding & stud management

Henry Wynmalen imparts the experience of a lifetime of successful breeding in this classic work, setting out in meticulous detail all the factors that make for sound and prosperous stud management. There are, among others, chapters on the use of land and feeding crops, on stud-farm layout and buildings, on breeding and breeds in general, and on mares, stallions, foaling, youngstock and feeding. Seventy-five photographs, many of them new, complement the text. Ann Leighton Hardman, herself an experienced and successful breeder, has revised the text for this new edition , adding detailed descriptions of modern methods and theories including disease conditions and prevention, feeding, hygiene, and the use of the ultrasound scanner for pregnancy diagnosis.
