Aaaand up!
Mare’s up. They carried something floppy out of the stall - the placenta?
These people are making my blood boil. As far as I could see, she still hasn’t delivered the placenta, which can be deadly. They’re throwing a freaking party in the stall, with flash cameras and dogs, and are pushing the mom away from the baby. Imprint training is one thing, this is something else.

Missed it – could well be. They’ll save it for the vet to check, I assume.
ETA – that horse in the adjoining stall sure is fascinated by all this.
ETA2 – and baby/s up! Wobbly, parked out, splayed out, but up!
…and the brand new little girl is up! 
What a good momma! Baby’s headed for the udder, wobbly, wavery, but determined.
No wonder horses wait until the dead of night to deliver. These people are really pissing me off.
Little One is just wobbling all over the place now.
This was really nice.
I sorta want momma to kick the ever living crap out of someone. Jesus, horses have been delivering foals for thousands of years on their own… if you’d leave the baby alone for more than thirty seconds instead of pushing her and mom all over the damn stall, perhaps SHE COULD HAVE HER FIRST MEAL.
I’m pissed off too. A bad show.
Aaand apparently we’re having a bit of a row. In the horse stall. On webcam. And don’t think baby has had a chance to eat yet.
I’m sorry, I’m hypersensitive at the moment… we euthanized one of our ponies at work today, and I was sorta hoping for a nice, lighthearted birth to offset the death. I should bow out of here and stop watching the cam.
First poo.
I watch this since 11AM (US Central)…take 20 minutes to make myself a sandwich and a phone call…come back to the 'puter and the baby’s out. Wish the damned human would leave her alone.
Could someone please explain what they just put on that foal? Is it a blanket?
Well I missed the big event (typical) but seeing the foal is fun enough! I’m so happy it worked out ok. 
Yes. Annoyance under the tag.
because she’s not wobbly enough, and the bright lamp isn’t generating enough heat, and they needed a reason to keep messing with her while she was trying to find mom’s udder, and apparently despite the fact that several folks are in light jackets (or short sleeves) their barn is obviously kept at ten below zero, so… she needs an extra couple pounds of weight on her.
And won’t mom want to lick her? I don’t know much about birthin’ fillies, but these people really do seem to be intervening a lot.
They appear to be practicing imprint training (at least I really hope so; otherwise they’re idiots); by handling the foal right after birth, the foal imprints on both its mom and humans. I can get behind the idea of it, but not when it so obviously interferes in the natural order of things… the idea is to rub/pet the foal all over, not to actively block mom from licking the baby, or push the baby around every time it gets near the teat.
(I’m not doing a good job with the whole ‘not watching’ thing)
Has this foal had anything to eat yet? Maybe i missed it, but it seems like these people really don’t want mom to bond with her baby.
Dinner time.
