brakin my mare for cart whilst in foal

[welsh gurl hj]

hey guys,

i need a bit of advise. i plan on puttin my lady down for a foal next spring but im also very keen on brakin her for the cart. Is this a bad idea?

she would be goin down for foal in april but if i were brakin her for the cart i would start now.

she is a quick learner so she could possibly be in the cart by april, hmmm wat do u guys think?

am i expectin to much of her?

thanx guys

I don't see any problem. You can start breaking her in for cart now and - indeed - she might already be used to it by april. You can then be quite for a while, bring her to a stallion and after a few months re-start the training. She shouldn't have forgotten all by then *lol*
I am actually breaking in mine under saddle at the moment, whilst she is almost 6 months pregnant. We're doing it all at ease, but she loves to learn new things.
The only thing, that I have heard, is that it is no good to ride the first 3 months of their pregnancy, because the foal needs to nestle well first.
Good luck and take care.
