Foaling Time
Well, we've made it to about a month prior to the mare foaling. Now, how early or late she foals depends on her previous history. If she is a maiden mare, you won't know and will find out soon. You need to decide where you are going to have the mare foal. If you choose to have her foal on the farm, it is now time to get a foal alert. This is just like a human baby monitor. You put one part in the stall and the listening device by you so you can hear if anything is going on. You could also just get up every hour and check on the mare. You could decide, especially with a maiden mare, to have her foal at the equine hospital where you know there is someone there 24/7. There are the added costs of keeping the mare at the clinic. We tend to send ours about 2 weeks prior to foaling. A good indication of when she needs to be sent is either prior history or when the mare starts to bag up. If the mare has been pasture boarded only, this would be the time to start bringing her in at night.
