What bedding should not be used for a pregnant mare?
I pulled this from the website in the related links: "Mares should foal on straw rather than bedding shavings. This is because the shavings can stick to the mare's vulva, and can be drawn in as the mare struggles to push the foal out. They can also adhere to the wet newborn foal and permit bacteria to enter the umbilicus more easily. Dry, clean straw is preferred, and the mare and foal can be switched to shavings a few days after birth."
