After the tenth month of pregnancy - the udder will begin to spring, the teats becoming clearly defined. As foaling approaches it will appear quite large and swollen, globules of wax appear at this stage, the mare should be watched closely, as foaling generally occurs within 24 hours. When globules drop off and milk appears, and when the muscles of the quarters sag on either side of the croup, her time is nigh. The vulva will soon distend, indicating that she will shortly come into labour
