Thank you for this lovely read! I am new to horses and thank god I did not listen to advice from old timers! My foal is about 15 months and still suckles occasionally. From my observations it seems to be a way of keeping the bond tight for the mare as well.
Another very interesting article! The overall question is why do we humans believe we can do whatever we want to our fellow creatures. Horses in particular have done so much for us throughout history, and yet all too often, we neglect to consider their basic needs. Thank you for making all of us consider that our ‘routine practices’ often need to be re-evaluated.
