Stonebridge Standardbred Farm - Broodmare Management
Mares are managed throughout pregnancy and lactation to ensure good body condition and milk production. Pregnant mares are vaccinated with vaccines that are geographically appropriate so that antibodies are passed to the foal through the colostrum.
Mares are dewormed every 6-8 weeks prior to foaling and again 7 days after foaling to minimize parasite loads in the foals.
