Observation and Judgment when Weaning Foals

Do not substitute someone else's judgment for your own. Horsing Around, LLC is not responsible for your observation and judgment.

The animal owner and caregiver are responsible for making wise decisions about timing and proper preparation for beginning weaning foals. Only they can make personal observations of their animals and facility.

Animals need to be checked frequently while wearing the EZEE WEAN halter and strap. Be sure the halter fits correctly on the foal.

The mother's bag will gorge, at first, then over a period of two weeks you should observe the bag reducing in size. The total weaning process typically takes four to six weeks. Do not remove the product to soon. Again, you must rely on your observation and good judgment.
