Mares prefer privacy at foaling time. If possible, mares will delay birth until human observers are not around. Mares generally foal at night. One study, for example, indicated that approximately 80 percent of foals were born between midnight and 6 a.m.
1 The closer to 300 days the foaling, the more intensive the needed care will be; 2  Foals born from mares that suffered from infectious placentitis during pregnancy may be born between days 300 and 320 and yet not show prematurity as there is an accelerated developmental rate in utero with many of these foals; 340 or 341 days are accepted as the most common foaling days, but they are not a due date, merely an average of the average. 2  Foaling days after 370 days of gestation are not uncommon and usually do not represent a problem.
