Horse Whisperer 2 - Teaching Baby Horses

Mares teach their foals to yield from birth. Using natural horsemanship it is easy to teach foals to trust you and yield to your feel. Leading, ponying and going over obstacles early makes it easy to start them once they are grown.

@1holliehorsecrazy1 I remember my first horse as a child. My God father bred his horses so we had foals around. My Mom thought horses big and smelly. The thing is.. when I grew up and left for university, I didn't take my horse with me and guess who ended up taking care of him? My mom wasn't a horse person, but she fed them daily and called the vet to put Prince down when he was unable to get to his feet, remembered my boy loved sweets, bought and fed him his favorite candy bars at the end.

i would love to put my mare in foal and have the experience of raising and bringing up a foal the parelli way :) what a great start to your foals life! thanks for posting!! :)

@1holliehorsecrazy1 It does make such a difference. Mystic is my levels horse (L3 graduates) and he loves me, but the horses I have raised from birth think being with me is the BEST thing. They beg to come out and be ridden. They offer tricks, follow me around the pasture, try to herd me away from Mystic and Tori, bang on the fence if I take another horse, parallel park at liberty for me to get on if they see me climb a fence. They are my equine kids.

@myahorning12 Congratulations on your new foal. I'm envious of you and the fun the two of you will have. You are wise to take advantage of his curiosity to teach him to yield to pressure and trust you. Well done!

Wish I was in the states and could spend time with you.........up to twelve months makes absolute sense and is a natural process. Thanks and good luck.
