The first food the foal needs is colostrum from the mother - this is the first milk the mare will produce and contains vital antibodies to help keep the foal from getting sick until its own immune system finishes developing. For the first 3-5 months the foal needs high-quality horse milk, preferrably from its mother, as well as free choice access to good quality grass hay and clean drinking water. After this you can begin offering starter grain to the foal, being sure the mare cannot eat this grain (it's very rich and will often make her sick).

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.
