| A little question: Are the names Eris and Aeris pronounced the same way? |
| Black Dragon Stable |
| I'm trying to stay up for another hour because I work tonight, but I'm beginning to think I'm going to fail miserably at that. |

| Witchy, my insurance absolutely refuses to cover my contraceptive. They tell me to choose a generic... Mine has no generic... and it's the only one that works. 3 months worth is $700.00... I'm lucky that a manufacturer's coupon is available. Brings it down to $65 every 3 months. |
| Nightfall Dressage |
| Insurance is currently arguing with my doctors and I about covering my birth control shot… what they don’t seem to realize is that blood transfusions, a multi day admission, and round the clock fluids is significantly more expensive then $150 every 10 weeks. Heaven forbid a girl not want to hemorrhage. Especially because I bleed for months at a time. Anyways if they want the multi million dollar medical bill they can have it |

| Personally feel like gradual is more of a problem than cold turkey, I follow a lady that did gradual weaning and now her colt is a fucking menace and she doesnt know what to do with it |
| Black Dragon Stable |
| We bought an open 2 year old mare many years ago... Turns out she was bred. We were NOT happy about that. She was a baby who had a baby, and she was not a good mama. We kept the foal on her as long as we could, but had to wean her early for safety reasons. |
| Nightfall Dressage |
| Trish Same here. Once the mares got tired of nursing they would kick their foals each time they tried to latch until they got the point. No matter what they always ended up going cold turkey |
| Morning Glory Farms |
| Weve also like I said done cold turkey for 15+ years and my client I work with for another 30 before that and the only foal that was an absolute cunt to deal with was the only one that was left on the mare past 5 months |
| Black Dragon Stable |
| I've successfully managed to block the current round of Sox reels, I think. I'm not sure why they keep popping up everywhere no matter how many times I block that content. |

| In my view, weaning is going to be traumatic in a foals life however it’s done. Obviously you can mitigate against stress, but breeders should do what works for them. The stud my horse is at does cold turkey and they raise well-adjusted, mannerly individuals. My horse (owned since he was 10 days old) was weaned cold turkey (different stud) and he’s turned out fine. |

| Theres pros and cons to all methods for sure. I think the most important factor in whether its "humane" or not as you say is the age of the foal. There seems to be a big problem with early weaning over here and thats what sets the foals up for a harder life |
| Transformers Acres |
| Trish No, I wasn't intending to come off that way. I'm just asking, because I want to learn more things about horses, as I want to own some in the future, and I don't exactly know 'humane' weaning methods, should I ever get a foal. I'm looking at several vet sites too, gathering medical professionals advice, writing it down. |
