A Dramatic Birth of a Foal

At Indian Land Farm our foals are born within the natural setting of the broodmare band. A rare occurance, this foal was born during the day. The entire process took less than 30 minutes and the foal was standing and nursing within 2 hours.

I can remember the time that my grandmother's friend's horse and my best friend Roxie gave birth to her foal Sophia two years ago after a history of miscarriages. It was sooooo beautiful and it was a hurdle for her to give birth to her foal after she tragically lost her foal, Toby in 2008 when she had massive colic. Roxie was exhausted after she gave birth since it was 3 in the morning. I was with her and she thanked me for helping her giving birth with encouragement with a kiss on the cheek.

@hnt1213 In the wild and through sarcadian rhythms, their natural time to give birth is early morning so that the new foal will be less at danger to predators and hopefully up and walking by the morning/day time :)
