Provides people new to breeding a good overall view of the process. It is easy to read and a good reference. This is not the highly technical manual that would turn away the amatuer. At the same time it lacks depth to be a truly serious resource.

A must have for the average horse person. This book is extrememly informative, written in a lively way that keeps you reading from start to finish, and is understandable by the layman. I would recommend it highly.

This book is a great resource for novice breeders. There is great information and knowledge will help you put your mind at ease. I recommend this book for everyone who is hoping for their first foal.

Honestly, I have not read these professional advice books by Dr. Lose. However, If I ever have cause to need advice or mares, foals, or any other health advice on horses, I will be sure to consult her teachings on the subject. I just want to take this opportunity tell anyone interested in her current publications to please read the one book that really gives us the opportunity to have an inside look into what her world is really all about, and to see how she grew into that world. That book is "No Job For A Lady". See where it all started! What a charming and engrossing viewpoint projected by a great veterinarian in the making. Thanks, Phyllis. I read this when I was 10 years old, and 22 years later, I still remeber what I saw.

I had bought this book and read it prior to my mare foaling back in 1997. That foaling was uneventful but the book made me aware of alot of things I would normally not have known. This year prior to the same mare foaling I reread the book and placed it out in the barn "just in case". Well...the foal became stuck in the birth canal...I grabbed this book....quickly scanned the pages to determine the remedy and we were able to dislodge (hip lock) the foal prior to the vet arriving and all was well. Even if you are not expecting to foal this book is good reading, very interesting.
