Expecting a spring foal?

Consider foaling your mare at the University of Minnesota Crookston. If you decide to bring your mare to school, she will receive daily turnout leading up to foaling, twice daily feeding of any desired concentrates, free choice alfalfa-mix hay to provide extra nutrients, and grooming to ensure she looks and feels her best.
Foaling out on campus allows Crookston’s Equine Reproduction class to have hands-on experience and learning of caring for pregnant mares, observing and assisting delivery, and care of neonatal foals. This is a huge thing for them!

Here’s a few benefits:
* Your mare will deliver in a clean, safe and warm environment in UMC’s heated barn
* Your mare’s colostrum quality will be tested and your foal will be supplemented if needed within the first 24 hours
* Mares are supervised around the clock by rotations of students on foal watch to ensure the delivery goes smoothly (students actually sleep in the barn to be near them!). Cameras are implemented so horses are not disturbed until active labor signs are noticed
* Your mare will receive careful educated assistance during delivery should she need any
* Your mare’s placenta will be weighed and thoroughly examined to ensure complete delivery
* Mares foal out under the care of experienced and qualified staff
* Foals receive special neonatal care such as naval dips and weight tracking, as well as desensitization to halters!
* And more!

Pregnant mares (and their foals!) are one of UMC’s most treasured animals on campus. Your mare will be loved on and cared for like royalty during their stay. You will of course be kept in contact of any developments during your mare’s stay. Mares must be due during spring semester.
