This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When Sarah Nagle and I bought the mares, Jensina and Jonetta, (King Harold lines) they had both foaled at the age of 24, both were very pulled down due to the foals being left on 8 mths, and lack of senior grain, for their practically non existent teeth. Sarah and I spent alot of our time and our hearts into getting these girls up to weight and healthy, unfortunately, they both looked like a million bucks, less than a year later when they both died only months apart.
I don't think having foals at that age was the right thing, in their case, maybe if the previous owners had taken care of them better, it would have been okay. I know when Nancy Lehnert owned these girls they were in the BEST OF HEALTH , but the people who owned them after her and before us, weren't as knowledgeable on taking care of a senior horse. Even so, neither one of these mares had any trouble foaling there last time. Michele Noonan Stevensville, Mt
