1. Dealing with Mares (and foals)
I recently bought a 12 year old brood mare and her filly (she is now 9 months old)....I keep them apart when I put them outside because if I don't and I take the filly out to lead train her, the mare bolts through the fence to get to her baby (I weaned ...
2. 7 month old colt that is pushy and nips

3. Weaning Questions
We have a four month old filly with her mother. We have begun working with the filly, she is halter broke and leads fairly well, what else can I do with her since she is still with mama and when is the best time...
4. Weaning Question
...I have 3 horses, 1 mare, gelding and a 6 month old filly. We used the total separation method to wean the two at this time and the filly is staying with the gelding with no problem. I was wondering about how long do we need to keep the mare and the filly apart? ....
5. Wire brush and new friends.
...My big imprinted baby boy Belgian is 8 months old and my boarding stable introduced him the next day to all 5 geldings and traumatized him. He has started to bite aggressively. Are they sort of responsible?....
6. Skittish Colt
..I own a 9-month-old colt. He is very skittish in that in order to catch him, I must keep a halter and a 20 foot lead rope attached to the halter 24/7 which I know is an unsafe practice, but otherwise I'd spend hours trying to catch him. ...
7. What can I do to assure her safety?
..we came upon a filly that was being abused by his owner. ... The former owner would latterly wrestle the 5 month old to the ground, causing cuts and bruises trying to halter her. So needless to say now she is terrified of a halter, or any one approaching her...
8. Behavior changed dramatically
...she'd buck (very small - hardly worth doing) she's only do it when I'd ask her to move into the canter, she'd also (whilst cantering) twist around my left leg, basically run bent like a banana. Both being very uncomfortable for me - and quite alarming....
9. Biting filly, new owners
...we have been feeding her out of our hands. I have just read that this is a big NO NO. Well yesterday she acted a little different, I couldn't put my hands on it. One of my friends was with us, and Sassy Jo (horse) reached accross the fence and bit her shirt. YES, she bit it, not a nip. My friend had on ALOT of perfume, and a very bright colored shirt, had reds, yellows, blues in it, was a tie died shirt. My first question is can the perfume and bright colors ...
10. Stallions Staying Together
I have six horses all geldings. I purchase two stud colts recently (first time stallion owner) and I'm not sure how long they can remain with each other or if I can put them with my older geldings....
11. Weaning a Foal
I have one pasture for my mare and foal and I was wondering if there is any problem with leaving the two of them together and not separating them to wean the foal? Will the foal eventually stop nursing?
12. When to start training and riding a horse?
At what age do you recommend training a horse to ride? I have heard from age 2 to age 5. Quite a difference!
13. Geldings responding to mares
Could you tell me what 'gelding' a horse exactly does to him? Here is a really weird question.... Can a gelding be affected or can he sense when a woman is on PMS?
14. Stud colt questions!
My mare has just had a stud colt. He will be 3 weeks old tomorrow and has only been turned out 4 times. We are too afraid because we have wire electric fencing up and the first two times we let him out with momma, he ran through it...
15. Halter Problems
...She was doing great, I got the halter on her after a few days. You could walk into her stall and she would come right to you and I could place the halter on without any problem. She was leading ok. ...Now I walk into the stall with a halter or lead rope and she turns tail and goes to the opposite side. ..Any advise on what I have done wrong?..
16. Horse Jumps out of stall and round pen
I have a coming two paint stud horse (soon to be gelding) that has a jumping problem. He first started jumped out of our round pen (3 times) knocking boards to the ground. He has jumped out of his stall and received a healthy cut that had to be stitched up. My trainer told me that he had separation issues. ...
17. Extremely unusual behavior by 2-year-old gelding with a goat.
...Tonight my husband and I heard one of the goats screaming. When he went out to check on her he found the gelding standing over the goat (who was flat on her back) and suckling on her teets.....
18. My horse eats 'tails.'
I have a 23 month old gelding who eats tails. He did it when he was with his mother, but we thought he would grow out of it. He didn't leave his mother until I bought him at 8 months, could that have anything to do with it? ...
