Be Prepared for Springtime Foaling

Spring can be an exciting time for horse owners and breeders who are expecting new additions to the farm.  Don't forget during the excitement to make sure that you've taken the necessary steps to be prepared for foaling.  It is really important that you're aware of the early signs of labor in your mare so you'll know when to be there to help if needed.  Decisions also need to be made as to where she will foal, and that area needs to be prepared ahead of time.  After the foal is born, be sure you know what to look for in a healthy newborn as well as how to identify any issues.  Check out this link for more detailed information!
