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.

What happens if horses don't have grass or hay during winter?
This depends on what else the horse may be getting to eat. If the horse is on a complete feed it will probably be OK, but it is always best to provide hay or grass whenever you can as this is what horses evolved to eat. If hay is scarce or just not available look into possibly feeding oat straw in small amounts daily. You could also try to find hay cubes or hay pellets. It should be noted that hay or grass is what enables a horse to maintain it's body heat in the winter through digestion of the long stemmed fiber in the hay and grass. Without these things the horse may need to be blanketed or even brought inside, particularly if it does not grow a very thick winter coat.
