So my mare has produced an absolutely cracking foal, but she’s huge, and the mare is putting everything into her. She’s on mare and foal mix and out at grass, adding a bit of oil into her feeds, but is there anything else I can try. She’s lost her top line and is looking a little ribby.
Obvs I don’t want foalie to grow too quickly but could do with more coverage on mare for showing.


Thanks

Both my mares came out of winter looking a bit poor (foals weaned xmas time) I fed Alfa a oil, something I would never feed my ridden ponies, and micronised linseed. Both have since foaled again and are looking good
