[RC] Weaning - WRSINOSKY

I prefer gradual weaning. Since I'm inclined to ride my mare and pony the baby, I start taking the mare out for short rides alone and gradually extend the length of their separation. When I did take the mare of my first baby to a neighbor's for a few days, neither horse was upset. Jessie is now 3 months of age and I've already started her getting used to the idea of being separate from her mom.
