Resource Library - Pregnancy/Lactation

Feeding during the first 7 to 8 months of your mare's pregnancy can be the same as for any other horse, as long as forage is always available, nutrients are provided to fill in any nutritional gaps, and the protein quality if high.

Refer to Chapter 18 - Breeding, Pregnancy and Lactation in Feed Your Horse Like A Horse for detailed information.
