Am due to bring my foal home very shortly now. I don't own the mare, and the way they are thinking of weaning her is to put her into the trailer and bring her over to my field. I know there is many different ways to wean but they only have a field. They have started working mum now so are not happy about me bringing mum home for too long to help the foal settle in, which was my first idea, so now this looks like the foal will be loaded up and brought home. She's going into a field with my shettie first as my mare will kill her ( not a nice welcome home!) What do you think? is it really cruel, most people have said its the owners with the problem not the horse!!! Any other ideas of how to do it with only the mums owner having a field?
