well you can tell because the mare is really breathing hard and if it is your mares first foal then you need to take her to the vet to make shure that the mare is healthy enof to have her foal.
Answer. Well first off you should have taken your mare to the vet when she first got pregnant and that would have given you an idea. Now so if you have the mares DO-DATE then you will start to have an idea of when she should be having her foal. Also when your mares titts start to WAX(It gets brown stuff that looks like wax where the milk will be coming out) they will either have there foal that night or 2 nights after words. Umm lets see this usually does not happen but if your mares titts are dripping milk then the baby will be coming very soon.(THIS IS VERY INPORTANT DO NOT SQUIZE THE TITTS THAT IS HE WORST THING YOU CAN DO)

My horses birthing bag is hanging out and she's pregnant and she is pushing but it seems like she cant get the foal out this has been going on for 6 hours?
I would get the vet birth is normally a rapid process and over before you know it.You could loose mare and foal if not carefull. The mare will get tired and then unable to give birth.There is a danger the foal is at a strange angle and stuck. If the foal gets starved of oxygen it could become brain damaged so good luck act now and I hope all is well.
