Pedigree Query

Another option is to milk the mare and store the milk in a soda bottle in the freezer. I did this after my mare lost her foal. I then notified my vet that I had mares milk. This can be sold for quite a bit if needed by another horse owner. I gave mine to a friend who had a mare that rejected her foa...

RE: INYUREYE Nope--not one to expect a weanling to act like a 3 year old. I have never had any foals other than those I have raised. They started at age 3 days in learning how to accept a halter. They are then led around with the mare and in no time have the leading process down pat. All that I have...

Yes I do have a cue. I whistle and all of our horses come to that. We have 2 geldings, 2 mares, 2 foals, a pony and this filly. I can walk up to them anywhere any time with or without a bridle.

Thanks for the input. I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. Every time I walk out of the house I go to her pen with a handfull of grass/grain, etc. She comes to the fence for the treats and to get petted. I also take her into the yard 2 or 3 times a day so she can eat grass. This filly alread...

I just bought a five month old filly. She is sweet in every way except she doesn't like to be caught. She is ok as long as she is wearing a halter but when it's removed, she's gone. Right now she is in a small lot with halter on. I want to give her every chance to change her attitude as she is a hor...
