I am new to the site. I have a question regarding a mare I rescued 2 months ago. She was seized in a large animal hoarding case where all 90 animals were in various stages of neglect. Most all of the mares were in foal. I decided to adopt one of the mares and she is due to foal soon. My question is this; Since she was not recieving sufficient nutrients during the course of her pregnancy, what risks might there be to the foal? Does anyone have experience with this type of thing? She is doing great now. Has gained a lot of weight. The foal moves around a lot. But can't help but wonder if there are any risks associated with early malnutrition.
