The weaning has begun


The foals started the weaning process at the first of September. That's where we separate them from their mothers so they stop nursing. They're growing up so fast!


It's not a quiet process mind you - the mares and babies scream back and forth across the fields and just in case we aren't hearin them, the gelding herd gets in on the action too :)


Friendly and Sandy have been elected to babysit the baby herd since they are the only maiden mares around. Horses use babysitters just like people do.
