I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	Southtxponygirl - 2017-03-28 3:18 PM I have known Donkeys that help with show calfs and a few colts, but I would rather work with my colts hands on Us, too. We used a donk for the show calves, but we decided we like our method of breaking better. It was definitely a more hands on method.

I think I am going to invest in one of these for my babies! http://www.crankyhorse.com/

Miracle in the Making Posts: 4013	ropinbuzz - 2017-03-28 2:37 PM We always use the donkey method for our weanlings! Works AMAZING! We usually have about 10 babies a year and we have two donkeys we use! Edited to say we have done this for almost 8 years now and have never had a foal or donkey get hurt! LOL i am in love with that colts face

Ms. Marine Posts: 4641 Location: Texas	I'm very hands on with my foals from day one. They all have a proper foundation of giving to pressure before I even think about tying. When they are to the point that they're ready to be tied, I tie them out to a tree close to one of my other horses. A lot of times youngins learn from example set by a herd member.

I weld them to a 4x4 steel tube burried 3 feet in the ground. Never had a horse pull back from them at all.
