Ozark Mountain is a respected source for educational DVDs and videos regarding Miniature Horses and ponies. The new two-disc “Foaling” video is the second title in MiniTack.com’s “Little King Farm Heritage Series.” This series presents advice and working knowledge from experts at Little King Farm (LKF) in Madison, IN, the world’s pre-eminent small equine breeder.
In the DVD “Foaling,” Marianne Eberth and Robin Eberth Mingione share knowledge they’ve gleaned in more than 30 years of foaling experiences at LKF. Although not veterinarians, Eberth and Mingione have vast knowledge and work experience to share that will benefit any Miniature Horse or pony breeder.
“Having the years of experience of the Little King family now available to small equine enthusiasts in a DVD form is extremely exciting,” said Lisa Borg, Marketing Director at Ozark Mountain MiniTack.com
Over the years, Little King Farm has foaled out more than 2,000 foals, giving staff there a vast array of experience. In the “Foaling” DVD set, Eberth and Mingione discuss signs of impending birth, the stages of labor and the actual delivery itself.
They also cover foaling positions and emergencies in detail, including information on dystocia and red bag deliveries. This informative offering also presents causes of in utero deaths and retained placentas and includes graphic examples of foals born dead with explanations of the causes.
“People might actually think twice before breeding when they see the problems that can occur during foaling,” notes Borg.
The new “Foaling” title also covers post partum care in detail. Eberth and Mingione explain colostrum and the time frames involved in its absorption by the foal. They also discuss “no suck” foals and outline possible solutions.
This two-DVD set runs two hours and 31 minutes. Although regularly priced at $39.95, “Foaling” is available for a special introductory price of $29.95 through February at www.MiniTack.com.
“Having the years of experience of the Little King family now available to small equine enthusiasts in a DVD form is extremely exciting,” noted Borg.
