Fostering the Orphan Foal
Fostering the Orphan Foal
Unfortunate circumstances can result in a foal being left without its own mare to rear it. It is always recommended to source an appropriate foster mare as a hand-reared orphan foal loses natural socialisation and negative traits into adulthood tend to be common. Veterinary intervention via hormonal manipulation of the mare results in her accepting the foal as her own.
Emergency veterinary attention for your horse may be required at any time of the day or night. We provide veterinary care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to registered clients.

In our commitment to comprehensive equine reproductive care, we employ advanced techniques such as hysteroscopic treatment to address infertility issues that may arise from blocked oviducts in mares.
