What do you do to help when your horse gives birth?
Well most horses foal without problems and only need to be watched. You should of course have a foaling kit and phone handy in case you need them. If you would like to imprint the foal then you'll need to be in the stall within hours of the mare giving birth to rub and handle the foal and get it used to humans early on. Other than that there's not too much else to do other than to make sure the foal is suckling and dry if it's cold outside and to dip the navel stump in nolvasan.
