About the Book

Foal rearing is a crucial stage in the life of young horses, requiring specialized care and attention to ensure their health and well-being. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the essentials of foal health care and highlight the important veterinary considerations involved.

Starting with foal health care, we delve into the key aspects that contribute to a foal's growth and development. Nutrition plays a fundamental role, and we discuss the importance of a well-balanced diet, from the essential nutrients provided by the mare's milk to the gradual introduction of solid foods formulated specifically for foals. We emphasize the significance of monitoring the foal's weight and body condition to ensure proper growth.

Vaccinations and deworming are critical components of foal health care, as young horses are susceptible to infectious diseases. We discuss the importance of following a tailored vaccination schedule based on the foal's specific needs and location. Additionally, we emphasize the need for effective deworming protocols to control internal parasites that can harm the foal's health.

Preventive care is another crucial consideration. Regular veterinary examinations, faecal tests, and bloodwork assist in early detection of any potential health issues. Monitoring vital signs, growth rate, and behaviour helps to ensure the overall well-being of the foal. We also discuss the significance of maintaining a clean, safe environment and providing appropriate shelter to promote a healthy living space.

Hoof care is an integral part of foal rearing, as proper hoof development is essential for soundness. We emphasize the importance of regular hoof trims by a qualified farrier to maintain proper balance and prevent hoof-related problems. Regular monitoring of hoof growth and prompt attention to any abnormalities are essential for the foal's long-term well-being.

When it comes to veterinary considerations, we highlight the critical importance of neonatal care in the early days of a foal's life. Proper colostrum intake, assessing the foal's suckling reflex, and monitoring body temperature and hydration are crucial in preventing health issues.

Developmental orthopaedic disorders (DODs) are a common concern in foals. We discuss conditions such as angular limb deformities, osteochondrosis, and contracted tendons, emphasizing the need for early detection and appropriate veterinary intervention. Regular check-ups and monitoring of gait and limb alignment are essential in managing and minimizing the impact of these disorders.

Lastly, we emphasize the need for emergency care preparedness. Despite preventive measures, emergencies can occur, and it is vital to have access to 24/7 veterinary care. We stress the importance of establishing a relationship with an equine veterinarian experienced in foal care and creating a well-stocked foal first aid kit to handle emergencies promptly.
