Breeding and management technology of riding ponies: domesticating foals

1-2 years old is an important growth stage for foals, in which chest circumference and body length increase rapidly, and about 20% of adult weight is formed in this year. At the same time, it is faced with the dual task of determining the direction of sexual maturity and foal development. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring normal growth and development, exercise and domestication are the focus of management at this stage.

The concentration of dietary protein should not be reduced, or the concentration of concentrate should be gradually reduced in the range of 15-16%. Under non-training conditions, concentrate decreased from about 30% at the age of 12 months to 15% at the age of 24 months. After reaching the age of 1.5, the foal begins to train and exercise for 2 hours a day. At this time, the ratio of forage to concentrate should be adjusted according to the degree of training to meet the energy supply of different training intensity.

The domestication of foals is an important part of management, especially for planting, competition, riding and riding. Domestication is based on horse behavior and exercise physiology, conforms to the law of growth and development of foals, and actively induces foals to observe people's wishes and obey instructions, so as to achieve the goal of cultivating excellent riding horses.
