I am not sure how big to expect him to be.   The mare is 36'' but the stud is only 30"

The tag says " CFS pro horse 300 is recommended fed to the suckling foal and weaned foals up to 350 Kg. ( 770 pounds) Individual foal variance may require feeding rate adjustment of plus or minus 1.5 percent of the amount indicated. Feed in conjunction  with hay and water.  Provide salt free...

For weaning I know there are several trains of thought.   Some just separate out of site of each other,  Some seperate during the day and together at night for a while.  Some seperate with just a partition between them so they can see each other.  Which is best?   How long do they have to...

Ok, sounds good.  The feed I am feeding the mare is also for a foal and weakling,  it would make good sense not to change that on him too.    I know the feed is made more for bigger horses, so I wasn't sure it the ticket applied to minis too.   I will see what the ticket says.  I might start...

Hi everyone,   You might remember that  had a beautiful foal born this spring.  His mother has been great with him, and he is growing into an adorable "mini Belguim" still colt. He is not quite 5 months yet, but looking ahead towards weaning, I am wondering what is the best way to feed a young...

I am wondering  about housing for miniature horses. Right now I have one mare, and one foal.   When I look at future goals  1)  I might like to keep using the mare to raise foals...…… I did rebreed her this year. 2)  I would like to have a driving team.  ( I have trained and used,  work...

The foal is growing super fast.  The mare taught him to eat feed by getting it all over her face, and then getting him to lick it off.  it was adorable.  He is feeding feed and hay, and loves to run.  He is an amazing little addition to the horse "herd".

A bit of an undate, The mare got the all clear, is doing fantastic with the foal.  We brought the stallion back for the 30 day heat.  He definitely bred her every day she was in heat, so hopefully she is  back in foal.

The fellow I sold the stallion to, was in this weekend to see the foal..   No longer having a stallion, rebreeding the mare wasn't really something I was considering, until he offered to bring him down for "a bit" of 50.00.  It would be nice to have a team of full siblings.  The stallion looks...

I couldn't be more happy with him......... Mama is pretty protective, which is a good thing.......  Day one she was pushing her feed around in the feed box.  Kind of like she was looking for the good stuff.  I never saw her act like that before.  when she had her face all feed, she lowered her...

Colt his front hoofs were very long whn he was born, happy to see that they look much more normal this morning. I am sick in bed with a concussion but I did go out and see him

She looking a little more thinned out tonight.

No foal yet, thinking Marcie if it a filly, and Argo, if it is a stud. What do you think?

She is starting to sink in on the sides infront of her hip bones.

So far I can't even get excited. I have been disappointed too many times. I have prepared for a foal, three years in a room, and no foal yet. This time I can't even tell anyone I think she might be in foal, cause they make fun of me. I was talking about possible foal names with my teenagers...

I just gave her a tuna can full last night and this morning. I will increase it every few days. Unless she foals, then I will increase it more quickly for milk production purposes.

Picked up a bag of 16 percent mare and foal feed. The ticket says in the last 3 months of gestation to feed a 1000 pound horse 5 lbs of fgeed a day. I birthed my mare and she is 51". According to the chart, she weighs 330 lbs, so I have to feed a 1/3 of 5 LBS, so 1.5 lbs.

We aren't really to spring yet, the grass is just starting to green up, but with melting snow we are in mud season, so i am figuring she is better off in her stall. I am going to try and build a paddock for mom and baby.......... part of me wants to wait to see that all goes well. But a 24 x24...
