We bought a TB broodmare 5 weeks ago in foal to my friends coloured stallion. We picked her up last week as she had a foal at foot that was to be weaned first.
This years foal has dragged her down and she hasnt had any hard feed over the winter. Ive put her out in a good field of grass. Not long grass but good quailty, she's on her own with the boys next door. Since friday shes had a small feed a day (only small cause shes not used to being fed) of corse mix, chaff and speddy beet.
Am asking a bit of advice to what to feed her so she gains weight before the harder weather sets in, but to do it the right way with out rink to her and the foal, have emailed D&H and baileys and just waiting for a reply.
Shes 15yrs old had two healthy foals with the lady that we bought her off. She's an exracer and has a phobia about being locked in to the extent she turns herself inside out. This winter she will be out but with access to an open stable at all times with ad lib haylage.
Thanks
