This is one of the only videos I've seen of a horse giving birth without "help" from humans. What a lucky animal to have owners that left her alone to do what her body was designed to do. Love it!

@sundancedoula There's nothing wrong with helping with a foaling, or being prepared to help if needed, there can be complications during the birth where, you might have to help fix something or else the mother or foal would be injured during birth. And when just assisting, in maybe pulling the foal out, if you make sure you time correctly only pulling when she's pushing with the contractions, it'll make it that much faster and easier on the mother.

@sundancedoula

But you must notice that was a VERY straight forward birth. She didnt struggle at all.

Sometimes you need to "help" them.

she was pushing and the baby popped right out. look around the net and see if the other birthes are this easy. This is the easyist i have seen by far
