There are three stages of labor.
The first stage can last as little as 30 minutes or as long as a day. It is during this stage that the mare positions the foal into the birthing position. First stage labor can also be delayed by the mare if she believes there are predators nearby.
Second stage is the actual birthing process and should take no more than 30 minutes from start to finish. Once this stage starts there is no going back, if the foal is not born within 30 minutes both the mare and foal are in serious trouble.
The third and final stage is the passing of the placenta. This can take a couple of hours. Any more than two and it would be wise to call a vet to remove it as a retained placenta can lead to infection.
