I'm sorry you all think I'm "stupid" about horses but I know several people around my area, including me, who feeds their horses hay and grain everyday (sometimes twice a day) and get ridden very, very often. My horses haven't been ridden in over a year because my mare is injuired and my black...

I totally agree with rross. Give penicillan for a week and 5 cc's and then move down to 4, 3, 2, and 1 and then take him off.

It's just how much you ride them and how much you feed them. You don't feed them a bale or two a feeding you feed them either...

I usually wean my fillies/colts when they aren't too interested in sucking on their mom's all the time. I just weaned two 5 month olds at the end of September because they were not sucking too much. It's personally preference. A lot of people wean at 5 or 6 months some people wean at 6 to 8...
