Foals

[@rebeccadees2300]

I'm glad I saw this video because I was wondering how they were managed. Thank you for sharing your video.

Oh my god these are SO beautiful!!! You said semi feral herd do you have to take the young stallions out? So sorry about the loss of your beautiful foal 😢

Hi Will, Thanks! There are about a dozen semi-feral herds that run out on the fells in the North of England. They are all owned and managed by different breeders who will round them up once or twice a year to wean foals. The breeders will have one or more stallions that they decide will run with different mares each year. If they give the mare a year off then it's called a geld mare. Hope that helps

@@fellponyadventures9194 this is amazing! We are in South Yorkshire but we are passionate about wild (semi wild or feral) horses! We own a mustang and know all about the BLM HMA’s and the gathers etc but genuinely had NO IDEA managed herds were still in the UK!
