Book Reviews - Spring 2010
The Horse from Conception to Maturity
ISBN 978-0851318226 Whether you are considering putting your mare in foal this year or whether she is already in foal and you would like credible information on the birthing process and the first few months of life with a foal, this book is of great help. It includes chapters on the breeding cycle in the mare and where things can go wrong, the roles of correct management and veterinary services as well as embryo development, abortion, foaling and dealing with foals – both with regards health, feeding and handling. Lots of photos and easy to read advice are provided by the author- an internationally known vet holding a diploma in stud medicine.
ISBN 978-1-4051-9164-7 Anybody who deals with horses should consider reading this book!! Not long on the book shelves this well written, easy to read book outlines all the up to date understanding of how horses learn and what motivates learning, memory and behaviour. The book outlines some basic theory of learning but is straight in from chapter one with practical, applicable advice including how to solve some common behavioural or training problems. Emma Lethbridge is currently undertaking her PhD in psychology at Lincoln University holding a degree in neuroscience and a diploma in practical equine behaviour.
