Obviously she will look pregnant, her abdomen having been swollen for some months. About a month before she gives birth her udder will start to fill with milk. About three to five days before she foals, a waxy coating will appear on the teats. When milk starts to drip or run from them, foaling is usually about a day or two off. About twentyfour hours before foaling, the muscles over her buttocks (from the highest point of her backside down to the base of her tail) will relax and fall in to allow the foal an easier passage through the pelvis. Anywhere from twelve to four hours before foaling she will be restless, standing rigid, running or pacing in an agitated way. She may seek out other horses or try to avoid them. She will look tucked up at the flank, may stamp her feet or kick at her belly. She will lie down about half an hour before the foal appears
