Yes. It is a good time to start to 'creep feed' your foal. If he is still with the mare he probably has been snacking on her hay for a few months now. To creep feed give him his own little pile of hay near the mare. As time goes by make the piles of hay a little further apart. When he is ready to be weaned put him in his own paddock or pasture near the mare so they can see each other. This cuts down on the theatrics of weaning. Not knowing how your local hay is check with your vet. He may want the foal to have some grass hay also. Be careful about high-protein feed for young horses as it could effect his still-baby joints.
