Your checklist sounds great, you need a tetanus shot though added to your list. I have also found that with a newborn foal, that if you buy LIQUID children's vitamin and give them about 10cc that their appetite is a lot better when they stand to nurse. Remind your viewers that they are not to help the foal stand, the foal's hooves must harden before they will support any weight.
A thermometer would be good for this list also. An increase in temperature can be a sign of infection for both mare and foal. Foals are also more prone to hypothermia...
