According to my essential bedside reading (your mares first foal by Jane Skepper), most (but not all) foals will be up by 45 mins to an hour after birth.
Keep the vibes going just don't panic yet...

If this was Asti I would be sobbing buckets by now.......perhaps I won't be much use after all
Why has the mare not so much as touched it?

Oooh no, you mean I'll have salty tea to drink????

Is the mare a maiden do we know? That can sometimes be a problem as they have no idea what this fluffy wet bundle is... once its up and suckling she should show more interest.
We had to dry Ivy down - proper nursemaids - Byter decided it was beneath her and her minions could do it. Tini when she had Asti, ran away squealing every time Asti moved!!!

oh well that is more encouraging then. This poor mare looks totally bewildered and not at all sure what she should be doing.

No, not a maiden. They have one other foal recorded on their details for 2004 (I think).
It also asks if anyone has any foals by this mare as they would like to know more.
Think it also says that the mares daddy was the original Lloyds bank horse.

There you go, looking better now! Vibes and wisdom of GM works wonders *polishes halo*
Don't worry, I don't panic when playing midwife.
*adds plastic cups with LIDS to list for foaling supplies to avoid cried in tea...*
PS if anyone thinks this an odd conversation, if we successfully breed a foal off Asti, I'm the midwife, sister is roving cameraperson, Auntie Manda GG is in charge of making the tea...

Foal now standing unaided and mum is giving it a good clean. What a relief - can go to bed now.

Yes at last. They seemed to get their act together once it went quiet. What a relief.
Congratulations Rollestone!

Phew!
Scary reading for a moment there!
One of my maiden mares foaled this week. I watch while having dinner, she started showing signs at half past the hour, by the top of the hour the foal was up, wahsed and sucking!
