as soon a they are weaned the testostrone goes up and they can make foals. i have know of a weanling getting a mare pregnant.

fast fibre gave my exmoor really bad cowpats and pebble dashed my stable walls, so would never use again

link doesn't work. the owner should check in with the loanee every 6 months anyway, i speack to my owner all the time.

mum is 16 and still havent decided which suits her best either, she has had supreme champion, in both in the same year, differnt show, different judges. was just going to try and concentrate on one with him. he is 11 months now

my fence is about 5 foot high if he cant make it he trys to jump through, he can clear the stable door as well so being in is risky as well. i think i have found somewhere for the boys to go, for 4 weeks then she will move there too, but not in with them going to put post and rail between ther...

she was nearly dry this morning but when i went back 4 hours later, he had jumped and was trying to drink will see what has happened in the morning

i am looking ito a couple of places for her to go to, but didnt want her to go far away, but will look at some places this weekend,thanks for the help
