I 1000% agree! I kept my breeding stallion with his half brother until hi was 3, & then would let him run with the mares & foals during the winter. And then put the weaklings with him when separating the foals from mom. He is the most sane well behaved horse I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with!
That makes me so happy to hear! And what a great way to make sure the foals get the comfort of a familiar adult horse after separation from their mothers. I wish more breeders had this compassionate approach!
I have the Substack The Thinking Horse Breeder. It appears I am unable to message you directly, even though I am a subscriber of your page. I just want to give a shout out to you for your work, and I have also recommended your work on my page. I would be really pleased if you could take a look and recommend my Substack in return. Many thanks.
Thanks for this insightful read! I have been considering bringing back my mare's previous foal who also happens to be a stallion and this helps a lot :)
P.S - he was separated from her by the previous owner.
