My TB mare is almost 150 days pregnant with a Warmblood foal. The stallion has had a history of OCD foals (I learned recently). This is my mare's 1st foal and I know nothing about her heritage. In order to best prevent OCD, what should I be feeding this poor pregnant mare while she enters her final trimester, foals, nurses a foal, and then what should I feed junior? Is a copper suppliment recommended?

No there are no numbers but most feel there would be an increased risk.
