now that the cold and wet weather is here was wondering what you all feed bred mares on light work 2 or 3 hrs of work per day hauling maure and moving cord wood now they are still on some pasture with abale or 2of hay Bill
We just feed ours good hay and a couple pounds of grain, upping the grain just before foaling gradually. We use a free choice mineral block but a lot of our friends feed Penwoods minerals to pregnant mares and growing foals. Just like cows you don’t want them too fat at foaling time. Keeping them working is good too so they are in better shape to foal. Looks like a nice pair of mares we have 3 just like them, had 4 but had to put one down a while back.
