Most orphan foal milk products are designed for the foal to be weaned at 2 to 3 months of age (about the same amount of time a foal gets it's primary nutrition from mare's milk). While the foal can be fed milk supplements through the 6th month the amount needs to be reduced as solid feed intake increases to limit inflammation of the growth plates.

Is true of feeding an orphan foal?
You can use a goat to raise an orphan foal, at least partially. However, the goat may not produce enough milk as the foal grows and there is a difference in the amount of fat in the milk of goat and horse. Also, it gets tough for the foal to nurse from the tiny goat as it grows. You may prefer to milk out the goat and feed the foal by hand. I would suggest that you feed at least partially with a mare's milk supplement available from your feed store to make sure the foal gets the proper nutrition. Leave the goat in with the foal. Goats make lovely companions for horses and your foal needs a companion as much as milk.

How do you bottle feed a baby horse?
If you have the right milk, get a livestock bottle (large version of baby bottle) and fill it with the (warmed) milk. You might have to rub the foals lips with the nipple a bit to get it to open up, but eventually, it will open its mouth and begin drinking. (let the foal suck on the bottle, and do not force the foal to drink.) Ask a vet if your foal is not responding to bottle feeding.
