The National Foaling Bank Statistics

Since 1965 the National Foaling Bank has dealt with over 17,000 cases, bringing together orphan foals and foster mares. If you think you have a problem just take a look at the statistics behind these numbers. Mares and foals die for a variety of reasons and in 2007 the Foaling Bank dealt with 467 cases, details of which can be seen below. However taking one year in isolation does not tell the full story, so if you would like to see, and compare the numbers for the past 43 years please download a copy of the complete statistics using the button at the bottom of this page.
