Orphan foals should only be fed by bottle until they can be trained to a bucket.
Unless the milk replacer is the type that can remain in a bucket for many hours a newborn foal will have to be fed every few hours (2-3) for several days.
Once trained to drink from a bucket the milk replacer (the type that is designed for long term feeding) can be fed free choice. Depending on the time of year the milk can get quite nasty with drowned flies, so more frequent refills/ cleanings are advisable.
The advantages of bucket training and the use of a replacer that allows free choice feeding:
1) Foal is less fixated on the caretaker which makes it easier to train
2) Caretaker is less exhausted, especially initially, by frequent feedings
What else can I help you with?
How do you pair with luc's mare on petz horsez 2?
I suggest only using one horse to train. Work with this horse often, and don't forget to take a break every 15 minutes to feed your foal (s). Work with cross country first (resist), then Jump, then Skill (dressage). Pass the training so you are at the highest levels. Take a break often to groom the horse and clean the stable. When all 3 areas of training and your care bar are filled 3 stars or higher, go to Luc's. He will say that you are ready. Select the horse you want to breed, then choose the mare you will breed with. Then name your foal. Go back to your foal stables to see your new foal.

How long do you have to wait to ride a momma horse after its had her baby?
After a mare has foaled you will want to wait until the foal is weaned before you ride the mare again. It is very hard to ride a mare with the foal trotting along side, and can be dangerous for the foal. A foal is ready to be weaned any time from 6 to 8 months of age.
How do you raise a foal?
The only work other than teaching them to allow you to pick, and clean their hooves, is some filing and clipping I saw a Black Smith doing on an older foal. But, I strongly recommend that you call your Black Smith to check and see if anything needs to be done, if you are seeing some extra growth or you are uncertain of what your foal might need, especially if it is a young foal. Now, if you see a problem, you need to call your Vet! Anytime you even suspect an issue with a foal's or young horse's hooves, you should take immediate action. This is their foundation, and what you do now will effect them the rest of their lives. Keep them clean and checked for anything unusal, such as smell, color, growth, and cracks. Do this daily and teach them to let you have their hoof now, easily, while they are young and eager to please.

Can six month old foal eat oat hay?
Yes. It is a good time to start to 'creep feed' your foal. If he is still with the mare he probably has been snacking on her hay for a few months now. To creep feed give him his own little pile of hay near the mare. As time goes by make the piles of hay a little further apart. When he is ready to be weaned put him in his own paddock or pasture near the mare so they can see each other. This cuts down on the theatrics of weaning. Not knowing how your local hay is check with your vet. He may want the foal to have some grass hay also. Be careful about high-protein feed for young horses as it could effect his still-baby joints.
