I have a young mare who is about 8 weeks in foal to the lovely Franklin. We knew after about 10 days she had taken as she really changed temperament wise, she is so chilled out. I just wondered if anyone would advise putting her on any kind of supplements as she has started eating mud and manure and seems extremely tired. She is fed thunderbrooks chaff with simple systems total eclipse balancer, better 4 hooves supplement as she has rubbish feet, and has some salt added to her feed whilst it’s so hot. Any advice appreciated as this is our first foal 😊thank you

ight now she will not need any extra supplements for the foal, I would be more interested in why she is eating mudand manure. If she is having good quality vitamins and minerals already then she should not need the feed increasing until around month 6 or 7 of the pregnancy.
