The gestating mare should eat about 2% of her body weight in food. The total feed per day should be 70% hay and 30% grain (concentrates). She should be fed alfalfa due to its high protein/nutrient content for the growing baby. However, grass hay such as timothy is fine as well, it just doesn't have as much protein and nutrients. Free choice water is a must and add a good vitamin mineral supplement to pregnant mare's grain.
