Foal Rolling

[Quester]

I have read young foals do not and should not "roll". I have a week old filly that rolls, especially when I put down fresh hay for mom. Then she bucks and runs around, returns and has a nibble. Should I truly be concerned? Anyone else have young foals that like a good roll?

Both my foals rolled right from the beginning, never heard there was anything wrong with it as long as they aren't showing any pain/colic symptoms which your isn't by the sound of it. Can we see a picture of your baby please?

My foals all roll some. Totally normal. Taz is right, Problem is when they roll like they are colicing or have ulcers.
