Breeding Backing and Bringing on Young Horses and Ponies by The Pony Club

Breeding, Backing and Bringing on Young Horses and Ponies gives sound guidance on various subjects from the choice of a stallion to the training of young animals for their eventual roles under saddle.

It discusses the considerations to be made before deciding to breed a foal, preparing a mare for stud, care during pregnancy, aftercare of the mare and foal and the education of a youngster during early ridden work. The emphasis throughout is on human and equine safety and the production of a confident, obedient horse or pony.
