What I find best with my horses when they foal is to let them have it naturally, ALWAYS have your vets number on hand in case of an emergency. If the mare does not lick right away, you should rub it down with a towel to start the circulatory and respiratory systems going. Encourage the foal to suckle from the mare, and she allows it.
If there are any other problems during delivery contact your vet immeditely because a leg or the neck could be bent causing the foal to get stuck.
