OK, now I want those people to get out of the way and let mom tend to her baby.
Mom’s all skinny now.
Ha! Momma’s licking her baby, who is already trying to get up. Looks like she’s got a bald face, doesn’t it? And I think high white on at least one front leg.
ETA Okay, I can see the hind legs and they’re high white too.
Not a very professional job on the owner’s part 
Doh…I just now realized this is not, in fact, the mare of a Doper. 
But I am still very happy to see all this!
Can’t wait until my sister <the one who’s got the horse training and rearing under her belt> to get a steady internet connection. She’s gonna love this!
That mare is a lot more patient than I would be.

Wow, Momma seems to be perfectly fine with all those crazy bubbly humans around her and fussing with her baby. I think this little girl’s going to be well socialized all right. 
Well, maybe they’re trying to imprint the foal. Mom seems utterly unconcerned about it all; she’s too busy cleaning her little girl to care, it seems.
ETA Damn, I wish that person in the foreground would move so I could see the whole foal.
ETA2 Ha she did and now baby’s got her front legs crossed.
Taomist - Here isa thread about a mare I just recently bought. I also have a thoroughbred gelding and a mini. I plan to breed my mare this spring. But I won’t throw a party in her stall when she foals.

Oh, yeh, you say that now. 
I… don’t really like what’s going on in there right now…
I know absolutely nothing about horses but I have to think that for the mom to be that unconcerned with everyone fussing about, that they must be doing something right.
She kind of looks like an Okapi.
Ha! You’re right!
Shouldn’t the mare be up by now?
She hasn’t delivered the placenta yet.

Baby’s almost up!
Rested, then tried again – almost made it!
Why do they keep moving her head away from the foal?
kicked mom in the face, that’s gratitude for you!
Hoo! Almost made it up that time and kicked mom in the neck.
