Of course you can. If the purpose is for production though the amount produced will
be disappointing however.
I milk colostrum from all my mares at foaling to produce a colostrum bank.
Milking can be done by hand, using a syringe with the entire needle end cut off and the plunger reversed or an Ez-milker all work well.

∙ 12y agoThe exact same way you would milk a cow. All you need to do is to grab the teat, gently, but firmly, pull down on it, then squeeze when you get near the end. Milking a mare is best if the foal is too weak to suckle and you need to feed the foal milk from its dam.

Does the female palomino horse take care of their young?
All horses take care of their young unless they are sick, hurt, or forced to leave it behind. If you have a female Palomino horse who is not taking care of its baby, contact a vet immediately. The baby has to be fed every four hours and if it hasn't gotten its mother's milk before the first hour, it is very likely the horse will die. The milk given from the mother in its first milk is rich with nutrients that are vital in helping the foal's immune system build properly. Have a vet come and check both the baby, and the mother so if there is the possibilty that the foal can be raised by the mother, you can farther explore that. I hope my answer was what you were wanting.
When do horses loose their milk teeth?
If it is a young horse, they will lose baby teeth at about 2-3 years of age and the adult teeth will replace them. If it is an old horse, the teeth are much looser and the gums are not as strong, so an aging horse may start to lose teeth at anywhere from 15-30 years of age. In this case, a change of diet needs to be made. Feed your senior horse softer foods and grains that do not need a lot of chewing.
