Stress and Health Challenges with Pregnant Horse

 

Health Problems for Pregnant Mares

Pregnancies can present numerous health concerns to both mares and foals. Though these are typical everyday issues, they are certainly not to be taken lightly. This process can impose significant recovery and stress issues that threaten the health and life of a pregnant horse.

 

Challenges for Pregnant Horses

  • Keep the mare’s health robust and full of energy for the best possible delivery and support for newborn foals.
  • Giving Birth: The delivery, stresses, and demands faced here are considerable and require the best health possible.
  • Exertion and endurance issues during delivery are matters of great importance and should be limited. 
  • Mare’s recovery: timing, nutrition, and effectiveness are essential matters.
  • Proper growth for the foal are also to be carefully considered, especially bone and ligament growth.

Stress and a Pregnant Horse

Our philosophy is simple! When sound and nutritionally robust, a pregnant horse’s body can perform remarkably. We know that nutritional needs are critical to the physical stresses of carrying a foal.

However, a pregnant mare also needs powerful, healthy resources that deliver actual results to carry her through recovery and after pregnancy, during nursing. In other words, nutrition is just as important to the mare before the foal’s delivery as they are needed afterward for her recovery and later to support the foal’s growth.
