I'm wondering what the stallion would use to "cover" the mares. An afghan?
And, THEN I'd wonder how a horse got a dog...LOL

Sorry, Iowa farm word for starting to produce milk. That would be great she could knit a sweater for the baby. lol! She is seems so uncomfortable, I am beginning to wonder if she will make it to the predicted Feb-Mar date. They just ran in the pasture with the stallion so they couldn't tell me for sure when they were covered by him.

Here you can buy a bracket with a ring that holds a bucket in place, I would make sure it is very close to the waterer so that she can't put anything in between the two. I haven't had my haflingers very long but learned right away they will check everything out and push this way and that to play with it.

I think that many people think that training is mouthing the horse or letting it pull the carriage, and for those things I think 2 or 3 years old is too early. But what I understand of training you can start when they are a baby. For me training is :

Than you will have so much more fun whith your Haflinger. I can do so much now with my haflingers of course they still do think somethings are scary, but the difference now is they still do what I ask. But that comes with a responsibility You have to make sure that what you ask is ALWAYS possible.

She puts her nose in the drinker to drink but she doesn't drink I think it feels good to her nose the water. But the problem is , normally a horse drinks the water and a sort of button lets coming more water, now "Silvia" isn't drinking but there still is coming water. So she gets a really wet stable. I have twice as much work with her stable than with the others. I made another button for it same results. Does any body have a solution ( not like shutting off the water ).
