[QUOTE="Alan, post: 180299, member: 378"] Ditto, couldn't agree more. Since you don't have the exact date watch for her to "wax up" (#3), as cypress said, you can bet it is within 24 hrs. Also where do you plan to have her foal? If the weather is good enough outside is fine, although other horses may or may not kill the foal. If you have her in a stall make sure it is big enough for mare and foal, 12x12 is too small. My foaling stall is 12x24. If she is going to be in a foaling stall get the mare in there at least 2 weeks prior to foaling so she is comfortable with her enviroment. I use straw for bedding, it's a bit of a hassle to clean up but alot more clean then hay or chips (shavings) for the birth. Then I switch back to chips a couple days after the foal is born. Good luck, Alan Alan [/QUOTE]
