IF the mare has foaled previously, it is no harm in looking back on how things went for her before. Does she normally foal to date? Did she have enough milk before, what was her colostrum reading? Is she prone to red bags? By taking a look back at the mare’s foaling history it will help you prepare for what you are facing.

It’s pretty common sense but the first tip is clean out the mare’s water bowl and feed bowl. Don’t leave old food just lying around.
