How to tell if a foal is going to be born

 

Here’s a little insight into how to check if a foal is going to be born! Rosie is 1 week from her due date! A horses gestation period is usually 330-345 days! Horses normally give birth at night when it’s calm and peaceful in the cover of darkness. By checking for a rise in temperature and elongation of the vulva, as well as her milk supply and the slackening of muscles we can start to decide if she needs checking through the night! Horses normally deliver their goals very efficiently without intervention!
