Foals grow very fast, and early life is a sensitive stage. Small deviations in weight gain can signal nutritional, health, or developmental issues.

Why growth tracking matters

• Early detection: Slow or irregular growth can flag illness, parasites, or feeding issues.
• Balanced development: Overfeeding or too rapid growth can cause joint issues or developmental problems.
• Benchmarking progress: You want to see steady, predictable gains rather than erratic jumps.

How to track

• Weigh foals weekly or biweekly; feed changes should be minimal and gradual.
• Check weight gain against breed/age norms (if available).
• Keep records: weight, feed changes, health notes.

Because foals change so fast, having a scale like Equiscale means you can use it often and reliably and be at a major advantage.
