For those of you with new foals, what are you feeding mare?
Mine has access to grass a couple of hours a day and has ad lib haylage. On top of that I am going through spillers stud mix like its going out of fashion! Just wondering how much is needed and if there are any cheaper options as have another one due to foal any day.
I know when they put on spring grass it will be better

We feed ad lib hay and D & H stud cubes, chop, s beet and barley if needing a bit of condition back on. The grass does help but the stud mixes give them the vits and mins they require, or you could feed a stud balancer which will do the job if she is looking well and just needs vits. Some of our mares get fed 3 times daily depending on what they are and how well they do. Yep it costs a fortune lol!!!!!
