Hi, i am thirteen and i got my fist horse about a year ago and then unexpectable a gorgeous foal arrived it was a big shock. But i have no exerience in this matter. He is now 6 months and very well. But it has come to the stage where i need to wean him but one i don't no how and two the stable owners want him gone in TWO WEEKS! this because i tried seperating them and he woke up all the naighboors and kept everyone awake.

Do you have anyone that can help you prepare your foal?
Has your foal been turned out with the other horses at the yard?

When you tried to wean the foal the first time, where did you put him? Where was his mum? Where will the foal be going in two weeks?

If you are selling the foal in two weeks then it may be better to seperate them then as they will not be able to hear one another - might seem cruel but that IMO is the best way to wean, have the mare and the foal in seperate yards
