Just as the question asks when do you all start leading your foals. A lot of people that I know do not lead their foals but leave it until weaning time to start. I started my 2 year old at a week or so but this years foal is 11 weeks old and has not been led due to the fact she was lame for a few days when I would have normally started (caught a flying hoof off the mare when cantering around) I am always nervous of the foal pulling back and going up & over due to an incident in the past. Unfortunately there aren't enough of us for 1 to lead the mare and 2 to cradle the foal thus giving pressure from behind. All suggestions/comments gratefully received
