Raising foals is a lot of fun. The thing to remember when you’re raising a foal is that the little things make a big difference – both good and bad. Using the Method to work with a foal just 10 to15 minutes a day for the first six weeks of his life will lay a foundation of respect and responsiveness that you can build on for the rest of his life. Remember, the younger you can get to horses and the more consistent you are with their training, the better you can stop fear and disrespect from developing in the first place to prevent problem behavior later on.
