Foals and Young Horses

Book excerpt: Foals imprint on their mothers and are guided by instinct. But over time, they get accustomed to humans and can be reared to become trusting, faithful playmates and companions. Establishing good behavior at the outset is fundamental to creating a well-adjusted adult horse. The reader is guided through the health, well-being, training, education, and attitude of the first three years of a horse's life, with a focus on building trust throughout.
