Since this is the mare stare forum, I thought it might be a good place to have a thread about weaning.
The... When? How? and Why for of it all.
So, when do you wean? And, what method do you use? Slow, cold turkey, etc...
Being my boys are only coming up on 4 months and 3 months old, I'm not in a big hurry to wean. When I weaned Dolly, it wasn't til she was 8-9 months, or older, just due to timing with winter coming on and no extra corrals and she wasn't pulling Caddy down, so no hurry; so we waited til early spring, then it was cold turkey, and I don't think she really even noticed.
