What Does Your Horse Weigh?
Determining what your horse weighs is the foundation of a logical feeding and management program. In addition to helping calculate daily intake requirements for hay and grain, accurate assessment of each horse’s weight is necessary for the proper dosage of dewormers and other medications.

The Effect Of Early Weaning On Growth And Development In Thoroughbred Foals
Thoroughbred foals raised in the United States typically remain with their dams for four to six months before they are weaned. Some breeders supplement nursing foals with additional feed while others feel it is better not to feed foals separately until they are weaned. If a foal is orphaned early in its life, then it is either raised on an artificial milk replacer or placed with a foster “nurse mare”.
