I just got 3 very scared, frightened mini weanlings (3-4 months of age) from an auction. They appear to have been weaned, fully body clipped and ran thru an auction all at once, so it makes sense that they are frightened. I would like advice on best way to handle them. I have them in a round pen/dry lot area with my other 3 weanlings, all of which are very friendly. Would it be better to let them come to me on their own terms or should I catch them and just groom and love on them until they relax? Would it be better to separate from each other or perhaps put them one on one with my friendly filly? Also, I have to bring animals to a petting zoo this weekend, should I bring these 3 and let them get loved on all day or would that make them more scared in the long run?
