Our quarter horse foals Twitch, Kix, and Stumbles are now all 4 months old and older. Time for them to be weaned. The first foals of our ranch are turning into fine little boys. So away from there mothers they went, into the neighboring pasture, along with the small yearling Bambi and Kitty, another foal we bought recently. They’ll be there for a couple months, till they are ready to mingle with their old friends again and once their...

When we first started on him he kicked back like a wild horse, but he has improved a lot over the...
