How to help mother and foal with separation anxiety

The initial separation between a mother and foal can be quite stressful for everyone involved. If possible I don't recommend separating them until the baby is successfully weaned. This may just make it harder when it is time to wean and may have longer lasting effects. I think it would also be quite helpful to get a good, soft professional to come help you out now and then. It will give you extra hands as well as extra eyes for observation. I also have more info and ideas available on my blog…Here are a couple links that may also help. In addition you will find some helpful suggestions for training a foal and getting them off to the right start (search foal). http://shawnakarrasch.com/blog/2013/03/08/helping-your-horse-to-overcome-separation-anxiety-staying-below-threshold/ and http://shawnakarrasch.com/blog/?s=barn%2Fbuddy+sour
