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.
