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.
