Some might have seen my other thread. I am new to having a newborn foal. I have been doing some reading on how to care for her and when to start doing what but most of the books and info are about regular size foals not minis.
When do you all worm for the first time and with what ?
When do you start to halter train ?
When do you start to offer grain and tips on how ? Do you buy a creep feeder or ? The creeper feeders I have found are for regular size horse foals. It looks like a Mini horse could eat out of them and eat the foals food.
When do you give vaccines ? This mares vaccine history is unknown other then the tetanus I gave her before foaling.
When do you turn dam and foal out with other mini's ? I have a gelding,a colt (which I am looking to rehome) and 1 other mare due in Aug. Right now I turn dam and filly out by themselves.
Any other advice or tips will be appreciated. Thanks
