Handling The Young Foal
Filed Under Pets | Posted on January 28, 2008
Today we look at handling your foal and preparing him for training.
Once your foal gets a bit stronger and more independent the new world he finds opening up to him is going to be a little scary at first – so whatever you do, try to take it at his pace, and not yours. Remember that until he is comfortable with the current aspect of his training; don’t move him onto the next part.

Filed Under Pets | Posted on January 28, 2008
A youngster is called a yearling from 1st January of the year after his birth. Remember therefore that he may still be very young if born late (ie November) in the previous year, but still called a yearling - hence their level of maturity will depend upon how much you can do with them.
So, in this article we’re going to cover what you can expect from a Yearling, and to be clear I am referring to a foal that has been weaned and is actually between 6-9 months old.
