What age do you wean your foals?

My barn owners wean at 4-5 months, depending on how large the foal is at that time and how well they are eating on their own. There is no reason to leave foals with mares for more than 6 months as it only drags the mare down.

My filly is 4 months, and her mother is doing it naturally. I see Boss (the filly) trying to nurse every two days, and every time her mother nips at her and Boss stops trying. She's eating fine on her own, grass, hay and grain, and drinks fine. Angel (the broodmare) has been bred back, but isn't struggling at all. Boss has always been pretty independent (can you tell by the name?) and even at 3 weeks she would be a full acre across the field from Angel before you could blink. This, of course, caused Angel many heart attacks. But she's nice and healthy, and at the moment there's no reason to separate them. Boss is to busy being alpha mare to care about nursing!

I'm really lucky, I have a mare who is a professional broodmare. She loves babies and is darn good at it. She'll probably wean her next about this time, but we'll see how it goes.

Great to hear they're doing well and I like the foal's name. If she's as far along as you say, there really isn't any reason to not wean her now but of course, that's your prerogative

I wean mine anywhere from 4 to 6 months.

Well my filly was 6 months at the end of September and she is still with Momma.
She rarely suckles now, but she still shares paddock and stable with mom.

Usually about 6months (or around that) is a good age. But yes - it does depend on the circumstances.

Six months because Momma was such a heavy milker - and then we weaned for his health. The mare lost tons of weight on just pasture, but she took another seven weeks or so to completely dry up. Also, after the first week, it's a great time to geld your little guys.

We also took the mare off of grain two weeks before weaning. She still milked like a Holstein! LOL

I weaned mine at 4 months old and so far so good- everything is going as smooth as pie and my mare is enjoying her freedom and not having a little man following her around everywhere and being sassy!

6 months here....

I usually wean between 4 and 5 months of age. Other times I have had to wean a bit earlier if the mare was being pulled down. I have never had problems with weaning as of yet.
