Forestfantasy, I am assuming it was the part where I said that I turned back out with the herd that you were commenting on?![]()
Yes it was the herd bit

Mine certainly didn't scream for each other!! they were in next door boxes and could see each other over the 5ft wall. I had his top door closed after a week of being in on his own I was happy that I could leave the top door open
Well they wouldn't scream then would they? My comment was in reference to people weaning and leaving mare & foal within earshot of each other, not next door.
they were in next door boxes and could see each other over the 5ft wall.
but could see each other..slightly different!
Exactly a slightly different method to your own - I never said it was the same I said they didn't scream !
you come across as if you way is the only right way... rolls eyes my arse..... let other people be helpful too hey ???? OP asked for advice not for you to be little other peoples methods ! What works for you works for you but I'm telling OP what worked for me when I was in her position
Erm excuse me, if you read you would have seen that i agree that Spring Feathers method works, which is similar to yours.
I never said yours didn't work or that mine was better, its just how i do it. Certainly not belittling anyone!
I just find it bizarre that you can compare a mare stabled next door to her foal for weaning, to a mare in a different field to her foal on the same yard in earshot for weaning! Vastly different.
As i also said - it depends which method is better for the OP.
Interesting, and food for thought for the OP.
I notice that no-one has yet recommended the partial separation method where the foal is still permitted to nurse a couple of times a day, that one sometimes comes up.
also to make you aware I felt belittled by your response hence me drawing it to your attention.
