Foaling Around

Rating:
Summary: Foaling Around
Review: This book is advertised as a collection of one woman's experiences over more than forty years with mares and foaling. It is much more than that- it is a series of tales of births, both of baby horses and of knowledge. Mrs. Westvang imparts not a little wisdom in terms of dealing with life in the world of horses, from very large sales stables to the backyard. If you are not careful you will finish the book knowing quite a bit about the process of getting a foal born successfully- and it's NOT a textbook or instruction manual. It is written in a down to earth friendly style that brings you right into the straw. Don't start it too late at night- I wasn't able to put it down. An excellent choice for horse lovers of all ages.
