Two Foals By: Rose Kelly As dark and traumatic and hurtful as your early years can be, there are those who use that adverse beginning to develop coping skills and strength to use later in life, to carve a path toward success and happiness, to discover the love they missed as a child. Two Foals is about surviving both a tragic and fantastic childhood. It is the author’s hope that readers will see how possible it is to survive a painful or frightening childhood and possibly use it to emerge stronger. If not, then her hope is that by reading her story, they will feel less alone and more hopeful.

Rose begins a journey, fleeing from someone, not knowing who she is or where she will end up after a terrible attack that leaves her with no memory of her past life. She survives by her wits and some long-forgotten experiences that even she does not know where the impulses came from. She knows she must seek out her history and find the truth that will relieve the turmoil in her life.

Mandy wonders if a mysterious foal she saw in the mist while out riding could be Curiosity, a local girl's young horse who recently died.

Designing Speed in the Racehorse is an indispensable reference by Ken McLean, one of the world's foremost bloodstock advisors and pedigree experts. McLean discusses genetic affinities and pedigree patterns, analyzes the pedigrees of important sires and ancestors to isolate elements of speed and stamina, explains what characteristics to look for in a sire, and updates the elite mare list. Breeders will be especially interested in McLean's analysis of the conformation of many of the breed's most illustrious sires and the physical attributes and faults they passed on to their progeny. Best of all, he tells the current sire and dam lines most likely to produce quality racehorses. With his recommendations at hand, today's Thoroughbred breeder has an edge in the competitive world of racing.
