How soon do you bring the mares due to foal in from the pasture and or seperate them from their pasture mates? When do you bring them into the barn and do they stay in there until they foal or just in the evenings?

How about your vaccination & worming schedule... When do you do your last round of yearly shots & worming prior to foaling? How about WNV, have you had any problems with that series in pg mares?

My reason for asking is that this is the first time in over 5 or so years that I bred one of my mares... I have one due in May... She is in pasture now (over 40 acre pasture so lots of room) with the rest of my horses. My yearly shots are due the last part of April and she is due the first week of May. Have had a lot of folks who have extended their loving concerns about her welfare... for the most part they are aghast I have her running out in pasture. I don't plan on bringing her in until the last 30 days or so of her time, prefer she gets as much free walking time as she can possibly get as movement is much better for her I think.

The shots though bother me... especially the WNV series. Have heard a lot of horror stories and feel that since she is due so close to the time of when the shots are to be done that I should wait until after foaling with the WNV shot.

The answer of S/B:

These are good questions and of course you should always talk to your vet about shots, etc. We do shots equine rhinopneumonitis at 4, 6, 8 months and then full shots at 10 months so that the mare can pass those anitbodies to the foal. We worm every two months and we worm the mare again on the day she foals. We leave the mares out until she has about a month left, unless it is super cold or freezing rain. We have not had any problems (knock on wood) with the west nile shots. Our vet Dr. Schmidt says that so far they have not been proven to cause anything problems with the foals. The birth effects that you might have seen can happen with any foal regardless of whether west nile was given or not. We believe in having them outside too after all that is how they would be in the wild right?

Thanks,
