How to imprint training a foal
Dry the foal with towels.
As soon as the foal is born and has torn the placenta, the mare will start to lick it clean. Let the mare and foal bond together for 5-10 minutes.
Then take an unscented towel (or two to three towels) and gently dry the foal. Within about 20 minutes from birth, he will usually attempt to stand.
