My mare is due to foal beginning May. She is currently out from 8am - 5pm on new field which has a lot of long grass, mostly rather haylike but some nice green as well. She has small feed night and morning, chaff, small amount sugar beet, two cups of Baileys Stud Balancer, sometimes some carrots and garlic. Ad lib hay at night (good hay). Her bump has just had bit of a growth spurt and she looks good, she is always quite well covered, a good doer (pure ID).
Just worried that having moved from old field to this new field she is having much more roughage during day without hay which she used to have, but it has little goodness in it. So although she is munching all day long, she is eating much less hay as at night she doesn't seem very hungry (very unusual for her!!!)
I suppose I will be able to tell if she starts dropping off, just wanted some input from all you experienced people!
