Hi a question as I have been reading up on problems foals can get with too much protein in their diets. My 6 month old foal is still with her mum (who is producing very little milk and decided that foalies drinking days are over) is out 24/7 with a rug (I know i'm soft) and has access to adlib hay is growing like a weed. She currently gets a double handful of pure feed stud mix and a tiny bit of boiled barley (mainly the water to damp the stud mix down) she normally steals some of mums food as well who is still on the stud mix and also boiled barley as she was a bit run down.
Do people think this is ok? What would you look for first as signs of problems from too much protein?
