[RC] Skinny mare - Rae CallawayI'm looking for some advice for one of my mares. She is 22 and has a 10+ week old HUGE colt. The mare is starting to look like she needs rescueing, she's sooo skinny. This colt seems to be sucking the life out of her. She gets 6lbs of a 16% mare and foal feed from Dumont (Tractor Supply Company brand) twice a day plus about 4-6 lbs of an alfalfa/brome mix hay twice a day. My other mare is getting fat on this, as is her 7 week old foal, but Amy seems to be wasting away. We've got 6 more weeks before we can wean - is there anything more I can do for Amy? A lunch feeding would be difficult as I work in downtown Houston and live way out in the suburbs, but I could do it on weekends.
