There is no special term for a horse birth, although it can be called "foaling."
Usually, true. It depends on the mare. Some mares will "hold" their foals until they feel comfortable/secure enough to drop. Our mares have usually always foaled in the middle of the night. I've written an article on this: This is the link: http://www.ehow.com/how_4526561_prepare-mare-foaling.html (mysassy) Exuse me :) I know that it also depends on how many foals the mare has had because a maiden mare will take longer than a mare who has had more than 2 foals.
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.
Delivery may last up to 36 hours.
To calculate a mare's estimated foaling date, you can use the mare's last breeding date as a reference point. A mare typically has a gestation period of around 11 months (340 days), so you can add this to the last breeding date to estimate the foaling date. It's also a good practice to have a veterinarian confirm the pregnancy and monitor the mare's progress.

Because the horse is a prey animal, they give birth very quickly. Once active labor begins it usually takes a couple of hours to get the foal on the ground.
