Orphan Foals

mare at their property but others are happy for experienced horse people to take their mare to the foal for the period of fostering until the foal is weaned.
Next go to the supermarket and buy a dozen tins of sweetened condensed milk and some ordinary evaporated milk. Foals love a sweet taste so starting them on condensed milk is a good way to get them drinking properly.
Then they can be weaned gradually onto ordinary evaporated milk after a few days and then if no foster mare has been found you can gradually change over to goat or special calf milk replacer powder.
However cute your foal is be warned that it is a very expensive exercise over 1500 to raise the foal yourself on the cheaper milk powders.
It is also not the best option for the foal behaviourally because it is very hard for people to be strict enough with discipline while the foal is young and relatively harmless.
