This morning I found my mare dead in the field. Came completely out of the blue. She had eaten her dinner, and all her haylage, there were plenty of normal looking droppings, everything was normal. I haven't got the results of the post mortem yet, so it is still a mystery.
The foal is coming up to 5 months old. I have spoken to my vet who says she will be OK, but if she drops weight to give her some stud cubes. I have moved her older sister (2yo) into her field as company. The foal stopped whinny-ing around lunch time, and had a pick of grass this afternoon, but this evening was standing at the fence looking a bit lost. Any tips on how I can make things a bit easier for her? I plan to put the foal and the 2yo she is now with in with my older mare once she has settled a bit.
