my mare just had her foal about a week ago. the foal is rather big, as you can see in my default picture, and she took a lot of nutrients from my mare Summer. i don't want to feed her any more cause she is very round in the belly still. and i wouldn't want to risk her to founder. is there a suppliment that is healthy for a foal and lactating mare!?!? please help. i want both my horses 100% healthy!!

Talk to your vet at proper deworming for her, just to make sure her round belly isn't from parasites.

I would give her a general vitamin supplement, like Select II or GrandVite. That will help make up for any lack of viatmins or minerals in her hay and/or feed. SmartVite Mare might be a good one too, SmartVite Mare - Multi-Vitamin Supplements from SmartPak Equine
