I am wondering if it is okay to begin light exercise on my mare that had her colt 2 weeks ago tomorrow. She has been doing very well and baby is growing so fast! The transition from our old pasture to the new pasture went very smoothly, I had no problems trailering momma and baby. I have given them a week and a half to become acclimated to their new home before trying to do much with them. I just wanted to get someones opinion on the riding of the mare. I would only be riding her around in the pasture and probably just bareback at first. It has been quite some time since she has been ridden due to the heat and humidity we have here in Florida.
Also is there any type of halter for babies that doesn't rub on their faces to the point of leaving marks? My baby Cherrokee has had some issues with the halter I bought for him, so I took it off of him the day before yesterday so it would stop rubbing on his cheek bone. What are the best type of halters to get that will grow with the foal? I found one in the Jeffers catalog that is a one piece and doens't have the large pieces of hardware on it. I would like to be able to get him back into a halter as soon as possible so that I can start working with him while also working with momma. He is a quick learner, and don't want to lose the bit of training I have with him.
Thanks as always! Happy trails to you all!!
