Yes, a horse who is delivering a foal needs supervision, and usually a helping hand or two, for things such as the afterbirth (placenta), assisting the foal in his first breaths, and in case anything major happens (shock, breech, etc)- This is when it is a good idea to call your vet. However, the process is very natural, and the mother generally takes care of them both. DO NOT attempt to breed horses or care for a pregnant mare without proper knowledge, help, and a good vet on call. It is dangerous to mom, baby, and yourself.

Baby horses are born in the same way other mammals are born: the mother's womb contracts and the baby is pushed out through the birth canal.
baby horses survive by staying by their mother and making sure they get the appropriate amount of nutrients from the mother's milk.
Baby horses in general are called foals. If the foal is a female it is called a filly. A male foal is called a colt.
So long as you are certified and have your Vet Tech license then you should be able to help deliver foals.
Baby horses do not eat they are fed on milk by their mothers.
