Could that have anything to do with centuries of selective breeding, one by Nature and the other by Mann, for two totally convergent purposes? I also suspect all SF's mares foal inside. Wimps!
Lol! I suspect you could very well be right with your former comment and yes mine do foal inside
Total sense of achievement when I'm stood there with him on a lead rope looking at me like 'hey its not so bad' well thanks for your advice & yes he trusts me enough now to eat from my hand so he can't hate me that much..! Thanks again guys
Tbh I started this thread as I was proud of my achievement, having never been near a youngster in my life, and I wanted to share it with those that gave advice. So please don't fill it with negative comments, I refuse to let it drag me down from my high.
You are very welcome and I'm pleased you are on a high and you've found that this way does work very nicely for both parties. I wouldn't be critical of others and their way of doing it however, everyone does things differently, and I suspect you'll find a huge difference between breeders who breed, foal out and handle a number of foals every year ... and those who don't. As always though, horses for courses
