Breeding Management and Foal Development

This is THE reference manual that should be a standard in every breeder's office. It goes into great detail through each step of the breeding process explaining with both words and pictures. It is very detailed, so it's not something to pick up and read on a Sunday afternoon. It may seem overwhelming to the small breeder, but the detail is understandable and extremely helpful, so don't be afraid of it's size and stature. This book is used in Universities across the nation as the premier text on breeding management (I've had my copy since college and I'm still referring back to it regularly).

If you only want to purchase one book on breeding management, get this one, it'll last you a lifetime.

Equine Breeding Management and Artificial Insemination

Samper's Equine Breeding Management and Artificial Insemination is an excellent reference manual that, I believe, gives more information on AI but less info on foaling and foal development than Breeding Management and Foal Development. I have them both and refer frequently to compare and contrast each books suggestions.
