Usually not...horses, (like most birthing animals), are calm during the foaling process unless there are significant problems with the birthing process.

Much of this is mediated by the hormones released before and during labor and

foaling.

If the mare has a malpositioned foal (dystocia) the veterinarian may administer

drugs that make it easier to reposition the foal. These may include tranquilizers

and or muscle relaxants.
