What about the Quainton Stud in Aylesbury they have mares foaling all the time?

whitewood has just replied:

"I don't know if this mare is still available as I posted this on behalf of a friend, but the telephone numbers are ** or ** - Wills. Good Luck. His is in Devon."

I wont post the numbers or the full name, but if you want to try PM me and I will give them to you...

I don't know if Quainton has a mare but I would have thought that an experienced stud would either know the best way to find a foster mother or alternatively how to care for the orphan.

The Nation Foal bank is the best place to start as Miss Vardon has so much knowledge in the field. She is so helpful and this is the link http://www.nationalfoalingbank.com/ Good luck hope you have a happy out come.

Quainton raised an orphan last year...may be worth ringing even if they can't help they may know someone in a similar situation

Hosequest has a section for Foster Mares and Orphan Foals - worth a look.

Edit

Baileys Horse feeds are extemely helpful and will dispatch emergency milk powder for next day delivery as well as advise you which of there stockist will have some in stock - saves you doing all the ringing around.
