I have a friend in the process of weaning a colt. She has a small place, but enough room to seperate them by fence although he can still reach her over the fence for a kiss. she has been told however that even after month of physical seperation, the colt can try to go back to nursing and the mare will start making milk again even if she has dried up. The suggestion was to set 2 thumb tacks into the colt's halter browband, facing up so that when he should try to nurse, it will poke the mare and she will stop him. My friend is not too excited about that route. Does anybody have any suggestions or advice?
