Baby Horses, Caring For FoalsFirst of all, you have to make sure that you have tended to the mother before she gives birth. You want to be sure that you are feeding her a food that is going to help her maintain good health. And that you are giving her things that help her to gain the strength as well as the nutrients that she is going to need to be the kind of mother she should be. Make sure that you talk to a vet, if you have never taken care of a mother horse before. And you will especially want to get a vet's advice if you have never had a foal before. When the time comes for the foal to be born, you want to help as much as you can, but mostly you be staying out of the way. There are some circumstances where you are going to have to help... It is important that when you talk to a vet be sure you undersstand what is normal for a horse giving birth and what is not normal.
Knowing how to tell what is normal and not, you will be better prepared to step in and help with the birthing. Otherwise, you want to be there, but at a distance, and being prepared to give assistance only if the mother needs it. When it comes time for the mother to give birth and you don't need to help, it will still be wonderful to witness her and the foal and to discover what happens next. With foals, as well as with other animals, if at all possible you want to leave the mother and the baby to do the things that they have to do. Animals have been doing this process for a long time and it will often go best if you let them alone. If you have to help, try to be as discrete as possible, and be sure to do only the things that you absolutely know how to do.
