What can a foal do when it is born?
When the foal is born, for a while al he can do is lay there. After he gets settled, he will attempt to stand. Most of the time this takes several attempts.

Usually within a few hours to a day, he will be trotting, cantering and galloping alongside his mother. You can't do anything to help if a foal is being born. You just watch and wait and be patient. Just let the mother do her thing. If the mother looks like she is struggling keep calm and call the vet and keep her comfortable. And 1 more thing, keep an eye on the foal to make sure it's okay, if the sack doesn't break when the foal comes out of it's mother then rip it open to let the foal breath. That's about it and it'll be over in seconds.
