💕That time of year again 💕

As we head into foaling season , a little reminder from the vets at Massey University, (with some foals already on the ground) it is important to be well prepared for your foals arrival.

Labour/parturition in a mare should progress rapidly. Once stage 1 signs are observed it is important to have constant monitoring (minimum every 15 minutes) and know what to look for if things are not going to plan and when you need to call your veterinarian. Have the phone number handy!

Normal fetal presentation is: a bright white sac containing two front hooves (pointing down) and a nose following 12-17cm behind. Call your veterinarian if any other presentation or no presentation is seen.

Take a look at the summary of parturition in a mare, what to expect and what to look out for 👀

Many people think that horses can safely eat grass clippings (grass is grass, right?) but that is a pretty common misconception and grass clippings actually pose a number of dangers to our equine friends.

While grass is meant to be slowly picked, ripped and chewed by the horse, grass clippings can quickly clump and cause choke if the animal ingests too many too fast. Grass clippings are also prone to fermentation which can cause colics, stomach and intestinal impactions, founder and laminitis.

Take-home message: Keep your horse away from grass clippings and in general never feed horses any food without the owner’s permission.

In memory of Chula, a much-loved horse who recently passed away after eating grass clippings thrown into her pasture by a neighbor; shared with the blessing of Chula’s family with hopes to prevent this tragedy from happening to any other horse owners.
