[RC] hauling mare and foal - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Susan Schomburg sschomburg or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== The foal will lay down and sleep most of the trip. I hauled an orphaned foal who was 3 months old with a surrogate mare more than 600 miles the day after his mother died. They were fine. Stop so the mare can nurse him and rest. I don't know how big your 2 horse is but you'll want to make sure that the baby can lay down. If it is a slant load, you can even leave the divider in as long as she can see him and touch him. If you can't do this you might consider borrowing a trailer. Where in Wyoming are you coming from? Susan ===========================================================Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his cool. ~ Jim Holland ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
