How to record Foaling and add the new Foal
Upon foaling, you will need to complete the Foaling Due milestone via the Mare Profile (section 8) or Breeding Worksheet (section 9).
Once the foaling milestone is complete, the Create Horse dialog will appear when you can add your new foal.
- Some fields are pre-populated: Sire, Dam, Foaled, Horse Type.
- The Horse Category defaults to “Foal at Foot”, and the foal is attached to the mare.
- The Attached Date defaults to the foal date.
- If the foal is fostered by another mare, you can change “Attached To” and link the new Foster Mare to the foal.
- The Status of the Foal will be automatically set to “Agistment – Foal”. During configuration however, you may have changed the description of this status. So please be mindful of that. You should also double check the Day Rate charged for this status.
- By default, the foal belongs to the Mare’s owners. You can adjust the ownership at the bottom of the screen as required.
- Once all fields have been checked and corrected where necessary, click Create and the new Foal is added to your Horse list.
Note: Upon foaling, the Mare’s Status is automatically set to “Agistment – Mare & Foal”. During configuration however, you may have changed the description of this status. So please be mindful of that. You should also double check the Day Rate charged for this status.
If you choose not to Add the Foal upon completing the Foaling task, you may do so via the Mare Profile > Breeding > Bookings screen. Click on the Horse icon on the appropriate Booking row.
