Doug’s Weaning (2)
Well, when Doug still wasn’t much calmer yesterday morning and he was still beating up on anybody his size, I decided that Danny, the kid’s pony would make a good roommate. Danny was living with Doug and his mom in the pasture so they do know each other. Doug’s mom had helped Doug put the run on Danny whenever he wanted but I thought things might be different with mom not being there. And I was right. It did help a lot. Danny really likes his feed and after Doug made a couple of trips through the hay pile, Danny started greeting him with pinned ears. Got him to stop running around.
So I left him and Danny together for the nite. Well, Doug didn’t think too much of the idea that the other foals went in the barn and got all worked up again.
Poor Doug is not looking as flashy as he used to. He actually has amazing endurance and persistence. I hope I have as much.
I have to go to town for the day. I hope he finds time for a nap.

Just wondering what the update on Doug is. Has he finally accepted the weaning process and how is he handling further encouters with new learning situations? I think you ponder a valid question. Wondering if Doug’s reaction to weaning is a future indicator of temperment problems. Does anyone else have an opinion?
