If so, how much?
well my colt is still nursing but he eats hay too for some odd reason. I was going to give some to the mother but I thought it would be too rich for the baby

You can put hay out for the mare and if the colt wants to go over and try some out there is nothing wrong with that. Most foals start trying hay, grain and grass early on, they are more testing it out than actually eating. He is not going to eat a whole lot so you should not have to worry about him getting to much, but alfalfa is good for the mare since it is higher in calcium.

Congrats on the new baby
