I remember my dad giving the mares a bucket of hot bran mash after foaling. They gobbled it up!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Did the vet say give rolaids ? I bet/wonder if thats like the tums and the contractions.

do they eat the afterbirth like dogs do?

do they eat the afterbirth like dogs do?

Yes. Leftover from wild horses eating it... supposedly part of that is to not draw predators toward the herd.

Foaling stall had deep pine shavings that would stick to the afterbirth. Not great for them to eat. They liked that mash instead. I can still hear them, the lip smacking sound when they ate it.

Sort of. More to keep things cleaner. Foaling stall had a dirt floor.
