Foal Nutrition
A baby horse, called a foal, primarily drinks mare’s milk for the first few months. In the first days, it relies on colostrum, the antibody-rich first milk. Over weeks and months, it transitions to nibbling grass and hay before being weaned onto a diet of grass, hay, and grain by around 4 to 6 months.
Clean water should always be available, even while the foal is nursing.
