#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Where I used to board they had a filly in september last year, and my filly was born in September as well (that was an oops though....lol). It worked well, the foals didn't have to contend with bugs, excess heat, etc. but winter comes much faster...depending on when they're born, they are often big enough to go out for X hours in the winter, but sometimes they are still too little. It also means that when you go to train them, it'll most likely be in the winter, but then again you have nice snow to fall on! That's what I have to look forward to this winter. Also, for selling purposes, some people don't like haveing later foals because they are the youngest/least advanced in the classes....especially for pre-green classes, sometimes people would rather have an earlier foal so that they can have more training/experience by the time the show season comes around.....anyways, this is all JMO, so feel free to agree/disagree. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
