Hi,
I am curious and it will be my first foal coming up in 5-6 more weeks.
I was reading this message board and I really love to read and learn from you all.
I am very glad this message board is up and I was worried that didn't have any message board and I looked and looked and I happened come cross this message board in almost a year ago.
My question is...
What is normal days for the mares to carry the foal?
As for first maiden mare?
Do the first timer mare will have bag of milk of like signs about having the foal soon?
What kind of bedding that you prefer as straw, hay or bedding in the stall for a having a foal?
I heard that the shaving bedding that might cause colic because when the momma lick the foal and swallow the chip and causing colic...
I order two blankets for the foal because in Oklahoma does go up and down with the temps.
Will have heat lamp out there when we have a foal (depend on the weather, of course).
Also my vet is only 1/2 mile away from us.
Our barn is right next to our bedroom and does have light shine to the barn and I can check every one hour at nighttime.. hehe!.. I know it is not fun part!..
If you have any advice for me and that's will be great!...
What is the best sign of labor?...
