Hi! My foal is due to come home in a couple of weeks and I’d love some recommendations on what/how to feed him. He was born and has lived out with his mum so has not been introduced to hard feed but loves hay. I want to obviously make sure he’s fed correctly when he comes to live at home with me so any suggestions/recommendations on what to feed the little man would be brilliant!

I also just recently bought a foal and she was weaned early - not great condition! Ive heard a mixture of reviews but ive just started her on suregrow and no molasses chaff. I think the general rule is watch out for too much sugar/molasses for babies. Youngstock mix etc. usually goes off the matured approx weight of your horse (average) for how much to feed them daily. I also put up a salt lick in her stable as they should have access to forage, salt, minerals thoroughout the day but she is look happier and put on healthy weight.
