I think the way and time that the weaning with these foals was perfect, I always wean my foals ar 4-5 months, and they are much better to work with and the moms need to have their time back.
I helped my trainer take 2 baby’s today from there mothers baby’s are in the barn mommas are out with the other broodmares like you said they can hear each other but can’t see each other , this was my first experience with baby’s and broodmares so I’m learning a lot love your vids!
Fin wants his momma and making Petey nervous. He was like I don't wanna go in the stall with this crazy horse. Bless their hearts. Penelope is sure the boss.
Ok everyone saying she needs to consider a different method doesn’t know her or what she’s tried. I know plenty of horses who’ve been weaned cold turkey (I own a mare who I guarantee was weaned that way) and she’s just fine. I will agree some foals are better off than others and will react better than others. There are so many factors that should be considered, colts can breed back to their dams, mares can loose weight, mare may not be producing enough milk, the foal may be stealing all the dams hay, etc. I have a foal that my vet said to wean at 3 months if my mare wasn’t gain and retaining weight because of her health. Vets won’t geld colts until a minimum of 6 months old but if you have a 3-4 month old Colt mounting his mare constantly there could be the possibility of him breeding his mare (which is a disaster waiting to happen genetically). Criticizing someone based off of another RUclipsr (who as far as I know has never bred a mare or bought a mare and foal combo) isn’t fair. You don’t know what conversations she’s had with her vet about weaning so you can’t judge. When I asked my vet about weaning my Colt he never suggested a method just a time period. My suggestion is to stick to your own business, educate yourself, and talk with your vet if your trying to wean a foal. Judging someone based of a 1-30 minute video isn’t fair. Do your own research and let others be. Harassing and repeating information (without doing your own thorough research and being able to provide said person with the research) will not make someone change if they don’t want to.
If it works for you and it is the only method you know doesn't mean it is right for the foals. Nothing wrong with a little research and more consideration for the horses.
@@margretemargrete11 research and consideration is great until you don’t have the means to do that. Again you can’t judge what she has done without being there 24/7. Which no one on this platform has as none of us are close friends or family. We are not her vet either.
Ummmmmmm we don’t show hate about puppies being taken from their mamas at 8 weeks. And they cry and cry for days. I’m pretty sure you know what’s right for your horses. So everyone else, you can mind ya business.
You are living the exact life I would have if it would have been possible!

Hello Katie, im just wondering if there’s a reason for not saying “good girl” or “good boy”, im new to all this so im still learning little tips and tricks. I’m used to dog training and always praising, is that not a thing with horses? My baby is more food oriented. Love your videos, I’ve learnt so much.
Okay everyone has to stop critisising katie and her way to wean her foals, it s her choice. Yes there are better ways, but maybe she has tried those ways, but they didnt work out, if she wants to do it cold turkey, she can.
Loved this video! I don’t think I have ever seen Winston so mobile. I think he knew the camera was rolling. A real ham! 🤣🤣🤣Getting to see all your beauty horses, cute mimi cows and goats all in one video was wonderful. Can’t wait for the next!
As much as I adore your love for your foals, this is not a proper way of weaning. There is no “one good way” of weaning of course, but putting them away like that and in a confined space causes a lot of stress to them, and that stress lasts. Unfortunately, horses are easy to be traumatised and we want to limit this as much as possible ❤ the foals show visible distress. Before you ask me how long I have been breeding, I work at breeding facility for years now, the breeding facility is breeding for about 4-5 generations by now and has around 20 foals per year, I also consult and work with foals at different facilities where there are 1-5 foals a year, sometimes more. I’ve seen A LOT and I worked with hundreds of foals at this point. The difference is huge. Many people don’t understand just how huge and how many behaviours later in their life are caused by it. Please at least do your own research and consider other methods. All the best to you and your horses ❤
I love how well you do this. Seeing a barn do it poorly and then seeing how well you care for your horses. Ignore the people that are jerks. Love seeing how much you care.
This is very much not how my barn does it, and their foals and moms are much more chill and seem pretty well-adjusted. I'm a bit concerned about the confined space, with all of them freaking out and running on top of each other? Would it be possible to have a different non-mom adult nearby, a horse they're familiar with, there to help them feel less alone and afraid? Kind of like an aunt or uncle to just be nearby and when they see that that horse is calm, maybe they'll be more calm? I'm just a hobby rider but I feel like that might make things easier for them, emotionally. And less dangerous if they're not flailing and running and thrashing inside a stall. :S
did you skip the part where she actually put her old horse Bo outside the stall so the babies could touch nose with him and be more calm? I'm not defending her ways of doing things but pay attention before commenting
It's already been commented, but they did have another older horse there to calm them down. Bo is always put with the babies to calm them down. Katie's family have been doing this for years. And these little babies are happy and healthy. They had a stressful day or two, but are now okay. Instead of dragging it out and putting them through several days of trauma like others have suggested. This is the method Katie's family have used for a long time, and it works for them.
Winston twerking was peak video gold. Second was Phin going batshit because you dared try to take his mama away. I swear it’s like the boys are the ones who are codependent with their mamas lol.
Those babies are so precious ❤❤❤Looks weaning went pretty well 😊Poppy & Petunia are such spunky babies and don’t seemed at all bothered by the goats 🐐 😊
Ok this may be a stupid question but are mane and tails of horses, is the reasoning behind some of why some have shorter or longer mane's and tails a genetic thing, like passed down from mare to foal? Is it a breed of horse thing? Or a combination of both?
While others may disagree, this truly can be the least traumatic when done properly. These foals are chill, happy citizens far sooner than those who have their weaning process dragged out. Like I said in the video, there are multiple methods. This is what works for us, and it’s been proven time and time again.
@@EquineQueen13its her horses, she knows theyre personality and she knows whats best for them, it doesnt matter what studies have shown, its her choice.
@@Charlie.Bell3 Just because " She knows her animals" doesn't mean it's any less abusive. It's like a person who declaws a cat or debarks a dog saying it's fine because they know their animal.

the reason you have to wean is alot of mares can't gain back condition if they're also feeding a foal past 6ish months. They can also be at risk of being bred by their own foals should they come back into season before the foal is weaned which not only is a problem genetically but can also cut off their milk supply too.
@@cloudedcolour5329 That’s WHY U Guy’s are the Professionals I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but My Eyes 👀 see so much Beauty In these Wonderful Animals….Thank U for letting me know WHY….
I gotta say girl, I've followed you on here for a LONG time, but I am speechless over this. I had no idea people still did cold turkey weaning. You have all those beautiful pastures and you can't do it properly? In addition, you are taking multiple foals who have never met, are going through something extremely traumatic (thanks to you), and you expect the sh*t to not hit the fan in that stall? You were so shocked by the baby being "dramatic" for kicking at you. I'd kick you because you just took my Mom away when I was still nursing and locked me in a tiny room with 2 other horses for days too. You think Penelope might be the chillest (despite showing the whites of her eyes) because she got to spend 2 more months with her mother than the other 2 had? Maybe she was a bit more ready for this? Just a thought.
Just FYI, Raleigh quoted a study that was only done on pigs. Not equine. So a ton of her “scientific proof” is flawed. Have you done your own research, (like legit peer reviewed studies) or are you just regurgitating what somebody else said? Because it definitely sounds like the latter. These foals are perfectly fine.
i have also watched katie for years and raleigh and i know that katie doesn’t mean for there to be stress, i believe that katie doesn’t realize some of the signs in the foals. but i do completely agree with this i just recommend if she sees this somehow i do recommend watching raleigh’s video
Yes it does Stress isn’t a emotion only humans have, the fact that she prematurely gives ulcer guard bc she expects health problems due to her method should tell you everything about how terrible that method is Gradual weaning is way more humane
Have you learned how not to wean, due to physically induced stress? Stress that can create an impact genetically for the rest of their life. Introducing foals after weaning is unnecessary on a farm with several mare and foal pairs.
@@Ketowski Over the years I have learned that people in the horse community are very passionate about there animals. I respect opinions. I am not here to criticize. I'm here to keep an open mind and enjoy the content.
Phin was dramatic when his mama had to go get her foot looked at, that’s just his personality. He was pacing for about a day before he didn’t care anymore
@sign9179 Phins mom can't go out into the big pasture, so this is the only way to wean for her. The other moms were fine right away after being separated. I think there isn't a right or wrong way to wean; it just depends on the horses. Also, she usually does it in smaller batches when they reach 7ish months. She just didn't have as many foals this year, so she did them all at once so they won't be alone.
@@ramya2924 I feel like we shouldn't be playing it off as him being "Dramatic". This is one of the most stress educing and traumatic experiences he will ever experience.
Yes, I have had it happen in my old barn we took a mare to get a full physical done (she had a variety of issues) she had done the trailer so many times, we unloaded her and just because of stress from being in a trailer she had a heart attack and was dead.
I’m gonna be honest this is so stressful for the horse, imagine being taken from you mom at five and then being called dramatic. These horse don’t know each other and they are taken from there moms. This can cause behavior problems. It’s much better to gradually wean them
I know this isn’t about Winston but he cracked me up! He’s such a cute “little” pig lol. Also Bo is like “hi. I’m here….again” lmao 🤣 Bo is the best they could ask for!
Some day i hope to be a horse girl just like you and im so grateful for the videos you do! Thank you for showing what its like and making me feel like im part of the group! ❤
Why not let them stay with their mother until they naturally wean? I’m trying to understand why they’re subjected to such stress that it requires medical intervention. I’m not familiar with breeders who separate foals from their mothers in such a traumatic manner. No offense intended I’m genuinely trying to understand.
Ulcer guard is a preventative…ppl give it to their horses for when they travel or anything that can be deemed as somewhat stressful for any horse. Some mama horses never wean their baby, Phin’s mama would probably never wean him, she also mounts her and she does nothing abt it. Sometimes with domesticated horses, they need human intervention.
Little late but some mares really won’t wean their foals. I have two that won’t even start trying to wean until the foal is over one. The two mares also don’t keep their weight well therefore I have to wean foals before winter

I know this isn’t about Winston but he cracked me up! He’s such a cute “little” pig lol. Also Bo is like “hi. I’m here….again” lmao 🤣 Bo is the best they could ask for!
I’ve watched other breeders use this weaning technique and it always seems to work well. It always helps to have a buddy
Sadly it’s the worst technique because causes a lot of stress like a lot and causes physiological damage
just because something works doesnt mean its right
Thank you for sharing, you are a great narrator 😊they are all so adorable but that Winston is so chilled and cute.
You need apple trees so that way you'll have apples for the horses
I'm just glad Finn missed the boobs with those flying hooves
Winston just kills me.
I think that’s the first time we’ve ever heard Mrs. Katie curse! 😮 warranted yes but I love the babies ❤
Omg I LUV THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
You have the most amazing farm and cutest animals..I ❤️ them all..Wish I was closer to help you out
11:42 Penelope is huge, compared to the boys, Finn & Peter. Gorgeous but big girl❤
Petey was like, "Man! I don't want to go in there with that crazy kid!"
Poppy and petunia are just soooo cute and funny 😂❤
Love that Winston ❤
Some day i hope to be a horse girl just like you and im so grateful for the videos you do! Thank you for showing what its like and making me feel like im part of the group! ❤
I don't get it. Don't horses wean their own kids?
Petey is like I'm not going in there with him🤣🤣
Why not let them stay with their mother until they naturally wean? I’m trying to understand why they’re subjected to such stress that it requires medical intervention. I’m not familiar with breeders who separate foals from their mothers in such a traumatic manner. No offense intended I’m genuinely trying to understand.
Ulcer guard is a preventative…ppl give it to their horses for when they travel or anything that can be deemed as somewhat stressful for any horse. Some mama horses never wean their baby, Phin’s mama would probably never wean him, she also mounts her and she does nothing abt it. Sometimes with domesticated horses, they need human intervention.
Little late but some mares really won’t wean their foals. I have two that won’t even start trying to wean until the foal is over one. The two mares also don’t keep their weight well therefore I have to wean foals before winter
A lot of mares don’t wean their babies. They give the ulcer guard to help with stress.
I would personally not because the foals will stay with their mother until they are manually weened
These mares are broodmares. They are going to get bred again.
Katie Finn is so beautiful!!
Katy I absolutely love your laugh/giggle.. Also your mini farm is my life goal! 😍
I love Winston’s cameos lol also the guy who helps you with the horses in the video is amazing! He’s so in control and calm with the horses
Great job! Always go by the signs!😊❤
I think the signs of don't take my mom away was very clear. It was too early. So sad.
