Close to foaling?

[Cobland]

My cob mare was showing strange signs yesterday, she was holding the tail up a lot, distancing herself from the other pregnant mare that she was close to, kicking out if we dare touch under her (not at all like her), walking away from me, pacing about.

We thought she was getting ready to foal, however her last owner (was travellers) said shes due on the 15th May. When vet was out a few weeks back he said she was filling up but couldnt give a due date.

This picture was taken before the weekend, its the black mare. Sorry not the best picture

My Mare started that about three weeks before she gave birth now every horse completely diff but I was putting it down to something like Braxton Hicks SP in humans lol!
She followed the routine like a book when she was close to foaling though so it was easy to tell with her,
Good luck just keep a good eye on her
