Surprisingly, no, at least in the United States. While a vet tech and a veterinarian both need to master some of the same technical skills (blood draw, urine collection, etc.), a veterinarian needs to be interested in a much wider range of information and be able to synthesize a lot of different data rapidly. When applying to vet school, some admissions boards in the United States view being a vet tech as a potential red flag - the jobs are different enough that if you are happy as a vet tech you won't be happy as a vet.
So long as you are certified and have your Vet Tech license then you should be able to help deliver foals.
