A lot of species defecate during delivery. Including humans. Very, very common. Most mammals use the same muscles to deliver as that they use to pass bowel movements.

[awezomenessgirl]

who ever thinks pooping while delivery is gross is stupid its just a part of nature anything could do it while giving birth cuz of all the pushing it might not be the nicest thing but its what everything does

[horseluvor4]

thats not a very safe or clean environment for your mare to be foaling in...she should be in a stall. cutecute foal though

[Unintensify]

@horseluvor4 horses foal in the wild without a stall just fine.

[silvialopez27abril]

Muy interesante.Sé lo que es parir también.Con dolor y con mucho amor.Cuan semejantes somos!

[ariprinz]

omg a red bag delivery! was she seen by a vet after?

[ariprinz]

big belly!

[sharjah990]

what have you done to the poor mare

educate your self more

and then think again

[Mustangfilly2]

@sharjah990 What?

[sharjah990]

@Mustangfilly2 hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

think again ***

[iBlingYoFace]

i'm sry but i wish u gave the horse a chance to give birth before u yanked it out (i'm a rider not a breeder, it's ur call)

[Mustangfilly2]

@iBlingYoFace If you knew anything about horse breeding you'd know that he/she HAD to pull the foal out before it suffocated. She most likely took a lot more time to give birth than what the video shows.

[iBlingYoFace]

@Mustangfilly2 obviously i don't know, which is why i want to study equine reproduction in college so i know what to do in situations like this one (that and pay bills that will eventually come my mailbox)

[jadebird42]

waonderfull way of life:)

[jadebird42]

the wonderfull way of life :)

[pronchokapital]

a horse's water can break just the same as a humans hunnibun450

[BuddyLover1216]

the baby is beautiful

[gallopvaly123]

awww that foal is sooo cute and the mare is beautiful

[horsesaremylife31899]

he is so cute he is probably thinking "legs work mommy my legs don't work!!"

[KristenKanterro]

cute little palomino it looks really dirty in that mud Lolz:):):):):):)

[hunnibun450]

wow the horse peed before giving birth. its either that or her water broke

[HorseofCorff]

Horses are gross. They poo during delivery. I had a mare who pood all over her foal as it was half way out. But that was water from the ruptured sac coming out.

[rid3emcowgurl]

I lot of human mothers poo during delivery, too. Its not just horses that are gross lol!

[OhUDidntKn0w]

@rid3emcowgurl Yet another reason I avoid delivery rooms at all costs!

[Laneismynickname]

@HorseofCorff

Its kinda smart as the foal gets more space going out of the mare.

[jdoug0234]

my uncle runs a stud farm and none of his 67 mares pooped.

[HorseofCorff]

@jdoug0234 Maybe he missed viewing the foaling where they poop. Have seen it many many times. Watch Mare Stare

[ZeitIstKurtz]

@HorseofCorff Its the same muscles to push the baby out, no wonder it happens... what color was the Stud?

[campcoskuro]

@HorseofCorff lol if you think of it, that means we're gross. pushing that hard for that long. my teacher's wife didXD!!

[hayleyclarke]

@HorseofCorff

just so your aware, most every animal defecates while giving birth..its just too much pressure on the rectum...even people...just most doctors will give you an enema first, so you do all your duty in the toilet.

[faithfullyblind]

@HorseofCorff Hun...I hate to break it to you, but people poo during delivery too. ;)

[princesskirara]

@HorseofCorff Humans can defecate and urinate during labor too, its not just horses.

[Unintensify]

@HorseofCorff good thing water was invented wasnt it?

[allegroequine14]

and really, the 2 minute old baby is on a down hill slope leading into a river. what happens when that baby slips ? you guys need assistance !!!!!!

[HorseofCorff]

The majority of horse breeders use the method of applying gentle traction to the forelegs as soon as they appear. That is what is recommended from a vet who wrote an article for the American Quarter Horse Association. It helps the mom from becoming too fatigued. This foal was a red bag and had to come out fast. She was not on any slope leading to a river. There was no water anywhere around other than residual puddles from a recent rain.

[rid3emcowgurl]

What is a "red bag?" I have heard the term before but I dont know what it means. I have yet to deal with breeding/foaling so there are some things I just dont know about yet! :-P

[allegroequine14]

you should not start giving assistance to birth before the foals head is out. if the foals head is not out, and it has been more than 20 minutes, then you need the vet.

[TheToyhorse]

mare was okay? i watch mare, but mare cant stand up? cute foal.=D

[HorseofCorff]

Mares always rest after they foal, unless they are a really nervous type of horse. This mare is very calm.

[victorino1pv]

im not very sure but i dont know if you can pull the baby horse while her mom is not pushing it, can you?

[HorseofCorff]

He was just applying traction on the legs, not pulling. After we saw the red bag on the foal's head, he had to pull as you have only a minute or two to deliver it once the placenta has separated from the uterine lining.

[Horses4ever8]

the mommy andt he foal are beautiful!

[coldbitch93]

lmao I love to watch baby horses try to stand up xD they're like WTF are these things and WTF are'nt they working?!?!?! It's adorable!!!!

[delkolver2]

aw poor momma,beautiful foal:)

[Breyerlover01]

you shouldnt let your mare smash there stomachs down while having the foal, it could injure the foall

[delkolver2]

well she cant stand up and have it...they've done that all the time even in the wild

[illusensama]

Aww he looks just like a giant plushie

[nene7133]

oh how beautiful!

[HotPepperSauce11216]

how can u poop and hav a baby at the same time

[Cellothinker]

Cuz U can. it doesn't come from the same opening. duh

[DelaynaNicole]

i thought you were not to pull the baby until the mare has a contraction?

[HorseofCorff]

According to an article on the AQHA members website, they advise you to keep a constant gentle traction on the foal front legs.

[somerandomcrazy]

From a veterinary standpoint though, I would have waited till a little more of the hooves were out to start traction rather than Digging in and grabbing. Thats jsut me tho..Grats on the new foal!

[ariseb]

Yeah and believe it or not....horses can do it on their own too!!! :):):) In fact some horse somewhere is probably doing it right now...nature designed things very carefully...we humans just like to make ourselves feel important. It's ok...i'm sure the mommies don't mind a little extra help anyways.

[fady505]

all the videos got someone who is helping i want to see how they do it in the wild how they depend on them self please humans stop interfering others life ... and why is she still looks like an airballon !!!!

[charmedluver22]

after you have a baby, whether you're human or an animal, ypur stomach will still be swollen for a while.

[marrylegs28]

aw the foal is so cute! lol

[Shinymane1]

Such a cute foal! At the end she is like, uh what do I do now lol aw so cute

[horseluva1000]

BHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA AT 2:47 THE HORSE,POOPED!

but very cute the foal looks like the brumby stallion :D u sould be proud of him/her

[seamus5121]

aaah bless her! she look shattered afterwards! what colour did this foal turn out to be? do you kno what sixe it will make?

[fbbluv]

wot happened to bonding??

[balovr4horses]

is it a girl or a boy??

[zwappp]

BEAUTIFUL foal name for a beautiful foal! :D I wish you all the best of luck. :]

[mrceleb2006]

At the 2:47 mark, I see her poop while in labour.

[Yzzyc]

That's not very unusual - after all, the rectum is being strongly compressed by the foal's body

[mrceleb2006]

Really?

[babyfeilds]

wow this is a good foaling i hope she dont force it out ouch!

[mrhalvys600]

did she have a hard bad labor my grandmas mare is pregnat up north and i hope she foals good

[XcowgirlfromhellX]

Beautiful Baby, well done :)

[horserider124]

was it your mares firsttime foaling?

[HorseofCorff]

No. She had foaled many times before. This was a very large foal for her.

[IlovePHANTOM27]

My mare is going to have a foal this June! Im so exited iv been watching alot of foal births so i can study it =) Beautiful Horses!! Congrats, Good Job!

[moonbaby83]

was she a first time foaler? mt paint mare was down longer than the foal was...and she laid there shaking for a long time.

[horsepat]

a lot of first times mares do that they are in a lot of pain so you need to get them up

[LilLily3]

Wow, I think you did a marvelous job! You stayed so calm and relaxed! It is obvious that the mare was relaxed as well and that she trusted you. If she wasn't relaxed, she would have tensed up and possibly not pushed at all. I wish I could have you present when my foal comes!

[beccalecca1971]

I also wanted to say that I am sorry you lost your other mare. Such a tragedy and I am sorry.....

[beccalecca1971]

In this instance, we have a mare defacating, no sterile gloves, and sleeves entering the mare..the owner states that the cord was compromised. THAT is a problem as well. If the cord is exposed to any fecal matter that way it could be deadly to the foal. Joint ill is a concern. I am glad that all is well, and it is a beautiful baby:-)GORGEOUS baby legs..

[HorseofCorff]

There were no sleeves up inside the mare. My husband pulled only on the legs that were showing. I guess you have not seen many foalings. Mares get a foal in and out of the vaginal tract 20 to 30 times before they can get the shoulders out, yanking up bedding, feces, leaves, dirt, etc. each time along with the legs of the foal. The foal leaving the tract and remaining uterine secretions flush the tract after foaling.

[beccalecca1971]

OK. I had a redbag foal too and have been breeding horses for some time. Assistance is NOT required for every foaling-it is suggested to be present. Assistance is an "if necessary" thing. Yes, Red bad (my 1st foal was born that way)is a time issue, I will agree with that....next post..

[spoild4lyfe]

beautiful horse

[LordisNaughtyGirl]

omg she shits!!

[gallop24]

haha thats when my birthday was!

[person32137]

Aw poor momma, she had a hard time.

[jellyjen]

great stuff i hadnt red your earlier post about the same thing but yu were straiht in there before (or at least before i ) saw the red bag. are they both fine now ?

[HorseofCorff]

The AQHA has a little synopsis, written by a vet, of what to do during foaling. They recommend that you apply gentle traction to the foals legs, to assist the mare.

We previousy a different mare that we did not assist during foaling, and found her dead in the pasture with an undelivered foal. Won't go there again if I can help it. From that point on we always assist.

[jellyjen]

personally ive not seen so much blood during a foals birth dont you think perhaps you wee a bit impatient i mean it looked as though the front feet were barely visie and you were tugging away thast not natural but hey i hope you new best lack ofsoun dont hlp

[HorseofCorff]

Right after the legs were visible, a red bag was showing over the top of the foal's head. A red bag is an emergency and you need to deliver it as soon as possible, that is why we were pulling. The blood was because when the foal was thrashing, she tore the umbilicus short. We clamped it but it had bled before it was clamped.

[Spitefire93]

Beautiful colt!

[UvErWorlDkrayz]

did she take a dump while birthing

[teiri567]

was that yellow stuff was pee

[UvErWorlDkrayz]

no her water boke

[Torri88]

wonderfdul live

[HorseofCorff]

Oh she is doing great. There are more recent photos at horseofcorff dot com on the foals page. Her name is Etched in Gold and she is for sale. (You have to figure out the web site because YT does not let you post a web address

[nadude2]

Congrats I think its a gr8 idea to help the mares foal well done such a beautiful foal its sooo cute its gr8 2 hear shes going well.

[grjls]

Does the foal is healty now? how is its developing??

[stardragon91]

wow, facinating and disgusting all at the same time. O_o

That is a very beautiful foal though. ^^

[skybluepainter]

poor girl was pushing so hard that she was defacating

[UvErWorlDkrayz]

what dos that mean

[skybluepainter]

It means that she is pooping

[queendraft]

sorry but it doesnt look like its making it easier to me

[wildmagic15]

How cute! and look at those long, long legs!

[HORSESJUMPING4LIFE]

Um... was the mom having trouble??... or did you just want to help??

[HorseofCorff]

We always help the mare if we are there. It makes it easier on both the foal and mare. This foal had a the placenta starting to detach (you can see the red around the head) and if the blood supply is cut to the foal then it can die before it is delivered. By pulling it out we made sure there was no oxygen loss to the foal.

[Jonybadass]

lol ok i did not ge that was it ok or did it die

[Jonybadass]

what was that yellow stuff?

[HorseofCorff]

That was the embryonic membrane which had ruptured. It encases the foal in fluid while the fetus is growing in the uterus.
