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.
In the weeks leading up to foaling your mare will start producing milk resulting in gradual enlargement of her udder. This is called âbagging-upâ. During the week before, or on the foaling day, small amounts of colostrum may ooze from the teats, creating wax-like droplets which stick to the tip of the teats.
