Well they are the mare of this foal and the dominant mare who has a new foal, so I believe this is the reason.....we have tried fooling them, by putting this filly in the pasture first then bringing the others in, we have stalled the least dominant mare(her mother) right beside her but she wants nothing to do with her for she is getting ready to foal.....and she is telling her I suppose that I cant take care of you anymore you have a sibling coming.....but it will turn out ok in the end when the foals of this year are ready to be weaned they will go in with this yearling.......then she will be the dominant mare, will give her the boss feeling ......unless someone out there can give me some other suggestion??? I just dont like putting them in our large pastures alone they are hilly and big want them to have company, so I guess until weaning I will have to be her friend.....ahhhhhh
