Your first foal (2456 words)
Foaling is a natural process, and many foals are born without human assistance.
This rest period is crucial to the foal because the umbilical cord is still attached and a large, necessary volume of blood is passed from the mare to the foal during the five to 15 minutes that the two remain attached.
Once the foal has been delivered, the next two important steps are the passing of the placenta by the mare and nursing by the foal.
