Bambi and her foal Remi are a sweet and playful duo, enjoying their time together before Remi goes to his forever home. The mare is ensuring her foal’s safety while also teaching him important motor skills through play. Foals typically stay with their mothers until about 6 months old, even if they have been sold.

Playing is an important developmental step for foals, helping them build motor skills and strength. Foals often engage in activities like nibbling on their mother’s ears and tail, running, spinning, and bucking. These activities help them transition from milk to solid foods and prepare them for weaning around 4 months old.

Despite being sold, Remi and Bambi will have more time together to bond and play before he goes to his forever home. The pair’s playful interactions show the love and care that mares provide to their foals, ensuring their safety and development.
