WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE FOR MY MARE TO FOAL?
A clean, dry site should be ready for the mare at least 14 days in advance of foaling to allow her to become familiar with the area if it is different from her normal stall or corral. Make sure to allow plenty of room for the mare to lay down; a 12 X 12 is a minimum requirement with a 12 X 24 or larger area being more desirable. Remember to foal proof the area and clear of all sharp objects or areas that the foal could become trapped. Straw, as a bedding material, is preferred over shavings.
