Understanding the Foal, by Christina S. Cable DVM. 127pp. The arrival of a foal signifies the culmination of 11 months of planning, waiting, and dreaming. But once that foal takes its first breath, the owner or caretaker must be prepared for the challenges and responsibilities that lie ahead. This book is an essential guide for owners, farm managers, and anyone who is raising a single foal or 100 foals on a large breeding farm. The book also encourages the reader to increase his or her powers of observation to help recognize problems in a timely fashion. Knowing what to look for often is the key and can mean the difference between healthy foal and a sick one.
