The more I think about weaning the more stressed out I am becoming about it all. I burst into tears last night because Grace was being a complete fool, but the root of the whole emotional episode was because I have been thinking a lot about when it comes to sending him away.

I am so worried about travelling Hannah back...

So, I have spoken to the stud where she was inseminated and they are getting back to me about when I can take them... but I can take them which is all that matters to me at the moment. Once Troy has been weaned from hannah, I will bring her home, and then two weeks or so later take Troy to his new home where I had planned on him going

Great idea, in fact much better than the original TBH!
Don't worry, he'll have a whale of a time with some other buddies which is what he really needs right now and by the time it's all done with, Hannah will be glad to get home and be personalised again instead of always looking around for him and it will have been stress free for you; much better plan!

Has he had his first two jabs yet? (I know, another mithering question!!)
 
Nope... not had anything other than being wormed as of yet.

The vet said he would need it at around 5 months, so I may as well get it booked in.
 
Thanks AmyMay... I have felt a completely emotional wreck for the past two weeks. I cry at anything (including my cat eating a fly

) and have not really had my heart in competing Grace because I have been so down.

Ahh, lovely girl - it will all be fine. You have made a really good, sensible decision. You won't regret it.

Smile, glass of wine - and onwards!

I hope it all goes well for them both - i'm sure it will. Troy will probably be too busy playing with his new friends to even notice Hannah has gone.
Keep us updated.

My vet always recommends having at least the first, second if you can squeeze it in before they are weaned. This way, you know he is covered at his most vulnerable time. What with going to a new place, he is bound to pick up something, it's almost guaranteed and if he did happen to scratch himself, then it's one less thing to worry about if he is already covered by a tet' jab. Just thought I'd say, you know me, fore warned and all that!

I would definitely be getting his first one done before we go...

He did have a jab when he was first born, but I have no idea what it was. How would I go on having it stamped in his passport when it is not here yet (being processed).
 
Just ask the vet to keep a record of it so he can enter it in when it arrives then hopefully it can be done when he has his second jab. Trusting no-one, I also make a note of the batch number too and date - just in case - think that should be my middle name, lol!
 
They cope - i had no choice about weaning we had to collect poor little Fin from vet hospital and leave Tina behind - Fin was sedated we practically carried him onto horsebox and drove him home - on way home had the phone call asking for my consent to put Tina to sleep as colic surgery not going to work - we then had to try and unload a 6 month old foal while crying eyes out and put him in a stable with out his mum - a friend dropped a pony off later that day and he settled 3 days later we bought Merri and they have lived together ever since - they cope far far far better than we do! i still cry all the time loosing Tina, and i have no idea if it has affected Fin or not, but he truly is one of the most precious things in my life.
I am sure Hannah will cope fine and be glad of the break, and its the best thing for Troy to go be a playful boy with friends.
It will all be fine i am sure, lots of luck x
