Question: Last spring I bred my favorite riding mare and am starting to get worried as she gets closer to foaling. I’ve never had a pregnant mare before and I don’t want to do anything wrong! Do you have any suggestions for what I can do to prepare and a sort of timeline for what should happen as she starts to foal?

Question: I feel like my gelding is always accident prone! He is constantly injuring himself, regardless of whether he is in a stall or out in the pasture, and I think I’m seeing my vet more than my husband! What tips do you have for handling emergency injuries? Do I always need to call my veterinarian? Thank you!
