So your mare is pregnant! Now What?
The first few months of pregnancy are an important time for your mare’s health and your future foal’s development. Good management practices can help support a healthy pregnancy from the very beginning.
📣 Key areas to focus on:
• Stress management: Minimize unnecessary stress, major routine changes, and intense travel when possible. A calm environment supports overall reproductive health.
• Nutrition: Maintain a balanced diet with quality forage, clean water, and appropriate vitamins and minerals (a ration balancer is a great additive for this). Avoid overfeeding, but ensure your mare is meeting her nutritional needs.
• Turnout & exercise: Regular turnout and light to moderate exercise are generally beneficial for maintaining condition and circulation unless otherwise advised by your veterinarian.
Routine veterinary monitoring during early pregnancy helps catch potential concerns early and keeps your mare on the right track for a healthy foal.
Reminder that we also have our Prenatal Mare Care Calculator up on our website to help you keep track of any vaccine, deworming or appointment requirements through the course of her gestation! ⤵
