What a lovely, attentive filly! Nicely done bringing her up!

Good video. Thank you. Seems like a nice little filly.

Day 1. Starts of halter breaking by clutching around foal front and back and make her move forwards and stop. Day 2. Place halter on and drag her around being mindful not to allow foal to throw itself on the ground. Week 1. Practice halter breaking. Use positive reinforcement (scratchies) to get foal to enjoy sessions. Week 2. Hobble Training. Keep rewarding with positive reinforcement scratches. Pick out hooves daily. Trim hooves monthly. Week 3. Teach to move hindquarters, front quarters, back up. Week 4. Desensitize to kids toys:- Waterpistols, trampolines, floating balloons (on a windy day), popping balloons, splashing, popping balloons full of water. Week 5. Chase the grain on the back of a motorbike/quad bike. Week 6. Add children! Grooming, cuddles, hide and seek, playing with tarps. 6 months old. Lunging, and long reining. I guess my turning out BOMBPROOF Child Friendly ponies by 3 y o was all wrong? By your account I should wait until they're weaned? But, what about worming? Hoof trimming? (Foals feet are born crooked, so many crooked legs could be saved, had they been trimmed earlier). What about those foals that get legs caught in fences? They could have been saved, if only they'd been taught not to panic. What about injuries? How can you treat a foal that can't be caught?

Your really good

That colt seems like a statue, unnaturally still. These videos that show a horse that is already behaving impeccably are of no use to those of us who have a more unruly colt, but surely more normal. I actually feel sorry for that boy, if only for having to listen to all that talk. Mmm, not impressed.

I start handling my foals from birth! Never had an unruly one 😆 The only unruly colts I've had are ones I've bought from lazy breeders who don't bother handling, worming, trimming hooves, treating injuries. They just mass produce and ship 'em out. 2 x such youngsters DIED by 3 y o because they were never wormed as babies!

Too much talking without working with colt.
