Hello, A few days ago I was offered a yearling (16 months old) to share in my care. However, I have only ever had older horses up until now. What can you do with a yearling? Scare training? He's already familiar with giving hooves, grooming, etc. I heard that lunging SHOULDN'T be taught yet. For…
I've noticed that now that it's getting warmer, my yearling is sweating more often. Does he need salts or electrolytes?
Hey, I have a 2-year-old mare and she wants to do something. By that I mean she's bored with being in the paddock all day. I started taking her into the round pen every 2 weeks to play with her and started with the basics. Now she's getting bored with that too and wants to…
Hello, I'm just over 160cm tall, and my 1.5-year-old pony mare is about 133cm. I'm very excited to see how tall she'll grow (dam is 140cm, sire unknown). I'm wondering what size would be optimal for me, especially visually. I hope she continues to grow well.
Hello, I wanted to ask you what you do with your yearling to keep him or her playfully occupied. Of course, I don't want to overwhelm our little one, but maybe one of you has a weekly schedule of what you do. Of course, he has to learn the foal ABC, but I also don't…
What can I do? Braid wire into the mane? Or braid it? And also around the halter? The fence is high enough, and the electric current keeps all horses out except the youngster. ^^ I'd appreciate a few tips for my friend. Lg

A few things in advance: •Recently neutered (3 years old) •low utilization •not really worked (almost raw) We were out for a walk. After I stopped, he got…
Hello! My little pony will be 2 years old this winter. He's already quite advanced for his age and is a really tough, brave and calm pony. I often take him for walks and go inline skating for a bit. Or rather, I do the inline skating and he trots along behind me. At a…
Hey I have a mini Shetland pony who recently turned 1 year old. So far, I've taught her how to groom, go for walks, and do little tricks. Now my question is, what's within limits so I don't overwhelm her? She's very curious and very mature for her age. Best regards
Father's height is unknown My Shetland Sheepdog mix is about 1.30 and she is still 1 year old (will be 2 in June). My question is how big will she get…
Hello:) As of today, I have a foster share again, for a Welsh pony mare yearling:) Unfortunately, she doesn't even know the foal ABC:/ So, how can I teach her the foal ABCs? And what can I do with her afterward? (Like going for a walk or doing circus arts) Of course, I want to…
