The broodmares have wonderful temperaments and always greet us on our visits to the pasture. They have lots of room to roam and raise their babies. They are also wintered on the pasture and come in morning and night for feed and water. Our foals arrive in late April and early May and are also reared on a large pasture and are handled minimally as babies. The kids and I visit the pasture daily and the foals get accustomed to our presence.We begin handling the foals after weaning and continue ground work training during the following two years. |
