#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#As long as you have enough bedding ( straw) and mats underneath you should be OK.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I know of foals that were born in 3 inches of mud in Dec and it survived.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Yup. lots of straw should do the trick.  If you want, you can put some shavings or peat moss underneath, but you really shouldn't need to.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
