Mare Care at Bethphage Farm Gestation Most mares are turned out with access to water, feed, and shelter during the first three hundred days of gestation. Each mare’s health is monitored daily while on pasture. If a mare needs to be stalled for any reason during the first three hundred days of gestation, it is done. Furthermore, disturbances to bands of mares on pasture are kept to a minimum. We try to introduce new mares to each band as infrequently as possible. Bethphage Farm management schedules all prudent preventative healthcare precautions (trimming, deworming and vaccinating) which are performed by a professional. Foaling Most mares are brought into their own stalls every evening for observation beginning at day three hundred of gestation, or if signs of impending parturition are evident. Mares are monitored by experienced barn staff throughout the night, and a veterinarian with an office on site is on call. When the mare foals, the owner receives pictures of the mare and foal as well as an assessment of the foal. All mares and foals are examined by a veterinarian after parturition (normally twelve (12) hours post parturition). |
