Myth: Broodmares are fine on a pasture-only diet until the last trimester.

Fact: Researchers from the University of Cambridge compiled a list of studies showing nutrition of the mother during pregnancy has a direct effect on her offspring later in life. Low protein diets resulted in anxiety behaviors, hypertension, impaired spatial memory, insulin resistance, altered glucose metabolism, renal dysfunction, and impaired immunity. Undernutrition in general caused vascular dysfunction, altered brain function, cardiac remodeling, obesity, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and impaired cognitive performance. This concept is called Fetal Programing, which means a developing fetus can actually adapt to external factors while in the mother’s womb, and those adaptations have a life-long effect on the baby.

Take a moment to consider how some of these life-long conditions (such as anxiety, impaired memory and altered brain function) could be detrimental to the training program of a young colt. When horses are paid up at high stakes even the smallest level of anxiety or a mental breakdown can be costly.

Proper nutrition for broodmares is important from the moment of conception, not just in the last trimester. Keep in mind that a forage-only diet (hay, pasture, or hay-cubes) lack appropriate mineral levels needed for proper development of a growing fetus. While a mare may not need extra calories or protein from grain in the first two trimesters, it is critical to provide her with proper calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals (especially copper, zinc, and manganese). This mineral support doesn’t have to come from grain. It may be achieved through a diet balancer supplement or free choice mineral in order to avoid providing excess levels of starch, sugar, protein or calories early in a mare’s pregnancy.

Thank you @lb_equinenutrition for the great information as always!
