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.

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.
