A foal gets into position shortly before birth. As it is being born you will first see one front hoof, then the second, followed by the foal's nose. The head and shoulders are the most difficult part. The hips and hind legs are usually born with little difficulty. Any other position other than this is called a Dystocia and is abnormal and the mare and/or foal will likely be in danger.
