I don’t understand why the fpal and mother must be separated. We don’t do this with other species, why is this done to horses?

> Tripple Dart and the two offspring were moved in November 2015 per agreement with the partners to The Alchemy. We have not been involved in any further breeding with the mare Tripple Dart since she was moved.
> Tribal Force the foal born 2015 was entered on the sale by the Alchemy as unamed .I purchased Double Canter from a friends cousin but he said its unamed will you think of a.name never mentioned he owned the dam so thought I’d some name but he was adamant abou name,change Tribal Force hes haal2nruns won on debut was then entered Storm bird stakes 12 lenghhs behind barraak street.

its a pity horses of slaughter, the mares cant bond with the babies and babies cant live to enjoy a little of life, the premarin mares, the milk babies. I enjoyed the article,ive raised my own,and have horses I love. but again the slaughter of healthy horses to mexico and Canada has got to stop…any input on what can be done to put an end to the tortures beautiful equine have to endure.

It’s such a fascinating subject. I disagree that one should not intervene with a birth though. I’ve never know a mare not bond with foal because I was there helping. It also helped the foal become more friendly and trusting towards people.

. I am, sitting here in the barn with my little arab mare waiting and watching and worrying. One of last years colts was so impressed with me he was trying to suck my jacket and was not interested in mom. I had to leave. when I came back he was nursing, but he still liked me. It was the quickest imprinting ever.
I enjoyed your article.

Very good and serious article, as a vet behaviorist y don`t recomend the use of impronting tecnics, because mare rejection and agressive behavior agains people hapends using this tecnics

Good article. Foal born during the early morning, was standing by the time we got there.Soon noticed that the mother of the foal would not let it suckle.after hours of trying to nurse,we tried to assist,but without luck. a neighbor brought a formula down and we fed the foal. The foal did not feed from 3pm until about 6am the next morning when he was fed about 16oz of formula. Hours later the foal was down and could not be helped. Feedback please.

My Mare had her foal in the early morning hours of July 2nd 2011. She had a filly, we named Delila Dream. I am trying to find info on normal foal behavior in the first weeks/months of life. I was trying to find out about the actions and teeth growth and what is or isnt normal in the first months of life. This article was very good but not exactly what I was looking for.
