Re: Finally we have a baby!!
He's doing great! Nellie is having a fit trying to keep up with him though! He goes galloping away from her, and she dashes after him, trying desperatly to keep up! He runs toward the other mare till she squeals at him - all in all, he is a handful.
But he's very respectful with people, which I'm glad about! He's already learning to lead and likes his halter a lot. Of course I'm not going to teach him to tie till he's older, but he is doing good with the haltering and leading which is good. I often halter him up while Nellie is eating her grain, so that she doesn't have to worry about chasing him around - lol! Here's a few more pictures of him. Enjoy! |

Re: Finally we have a baby!!
He is stunning!! Congrats!!
On the subject of imprinting I think you are right and people take it way to far!! In my opinion, if you went up to the foal strate after birth and stroked it fro ten mins then walk away that is enough. It is sometimes a problem if you cpver the foal in the smell of humans and this can also make the mother reject the foal. As long as the foal knows you wont hurt it, there should be no problem! ![]() |
