Best Answer

If a newborn foal is unable to feed from it's mother you need to call the vet immediately and see if there is a colostrum bank available in your area. If not there are some colostrum supplements available that you can buy. Many people feed formula from a bucket, but some foals won't drink from and and will need to be bottle fed. You could also ask the vet if there is a mare nearby that might have lost her foal and would be available to use as a nurse mare.
