FoalGro

“We lost our dear mare unexpectedly when Olive was 4 days old. On the way back from the hospital we grabbed some Grober milk replacer and fed it to the foal as soon as we got home. She drank immediately from a bucket.We then debated long and hard about introducing a nurse mare but decided to stick with the bucket and Grober. It’s not unlike raising our 3 kids.

Set the alarm clock, use a log book and stick to a schedule. We keep track of her weight versus the foals raised by their dams and she is gaining on par.

She was integrated into the herd along with her “granny” at 3 weeks of age, and other than running full tilt when she sees me with her green bucket, she is very much the normal foal!!”
