The book focuses on the tens of thousands of foals born annually only so that their mothers can provide pharmaceutical companies with the hormones their bodies create during pregnancy.

Normally they are taken from their mothers and sent to slaughter. There are more than 250 farms in North Americamost of them in Canadahousing tens of thousands of mares, in agonizing conditions, for this purpose.Those photos grouped into the chapters "Birth" and "Rescue" are especially dramatic. Given their semi-wild conditions, these horses have a ruggedly beautiful, ungroomed appearance. In later chapters, we see the transformation of once-wild creatures into loving and intelligent companions for their human families.
