Learn how to breed and raise racehorses from the master horseman!
The late
Joe Taylor knew what it took to breed and raise champions - both Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds. For 40 years, he managed the world famous Gainesway Farm in Lexington, KY. He
was associated with winners of the Kentucky Derby, Breeders' Cup, Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Hambletonian and the Kentucky Futurity.
His own Taylor Made Farm in Lexington, KY is a world-renowned Thoroughbred
nursery and sales agency.
Joe Taylor knew that a horse's chance to become a champion starts long before it goes to the track. It begins with the breeding, the care given to his sire and dam, the quality of the grass on which he grazes, the care and training received as a foal and the environment in which it is raised. Neglect any of these things and the horse will never see the winner's circle.
Joe Taylor’s Complete Guide to Breeding and Raising Racehorses tells you how to select the best land for your farm and design the best layout for your paddocks, pastures, buildings, roads and
lanes. Taylor explains how to select the correct stallion for your mare and how to get your mares in foal and keep them that way.
He tells you how to care for newborn foals, raise strong weanlings and correct yearlings, get your yearlings ready for the sales and have your horses reach their peak at sales time, plus much more.
This book serves as a basic reference for horse breeders around the world and is
one you'll read over again and again.
