    How to potty train/ teach horse to go on command

    I’m curious how to go about potty training my 3 month old future therapy pony. He typically doesn’t go potty when I’m outside. I have taken him on 1- 1 1/2 hour outings and he hasn’t had any accidents… I’m just not super sure how to teach him a cue word to go when I don’t see him going potty...

    When/How to wean a colt from mama

    So I know I’m thinking a bit into the future but my mare had a colt Friday morning, and I’m planning on keeping him. How would I go about weaning him (in a few month) if I’m keeping him and I don’t have separate paddocks?

    Mares resting respiratory rate is elevated

    My very pregnant mare, who’s due to foal any day, has a respiratory rate of 44-60 breaths per minute. Is this something to worry about??? I think it’s because she is so heavily in foal that she has to take smaller breaths but wanted to see what you guys thought! Thanks in advance!
