The udder starts to fill noticeably about a month before the horse foals. When a waxy coating appears on the teats, that means there's about three days to go, and dripping or running milk usually means that the mare will drop within a day. Another reliable indicator is when the muscles of the horse's buttocks drop. This provides added flexibility to the pelvis to assist the foal through and occurs less than a day before foaling.
