From entering the first stage of foaling, to the time that the foal comes out should not be longer than 4 hours.
The foal should come out less than an hour after the second stage of parturition begins. The second stage begins after the rupture of the membranes (when the fluid comes out) - and abdominal straining will begin.
If a foal takes longer than 1 hour to come out after the second stage has begun, it has a much lower chance of survival.
1 hour after birth the foal should be standing, 2 hours after birth it should be suckling and 3 hours after birth the mare should have passed the placenta.
