OK, has anybody heard about this???? Good grief! where do people come up with these things? That's kind of like the local paint horse "guru" lady telling my first-time-horse-owner neighbor that as soon as her mare foaled she should lock the mare & foal in as small a stall as possible and not feed the mare for 3 or 4 days. Supposedly this was to help the mare & foal bond, and make the mare's milk come in. She asked my opinion because it just didn't sound right to her. Her instincts were right of course... Sounded like a good way of losing a foal to me. Amy Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords Redmond, OR Fjord [EMAIL PROTECTED]
