Oh yes....Dis and Glama have foaled out on a 2000 acre pasture in a
big herd of geldings, mares and babies, yearlings etc...
Skyfaxa prefers to foal with Foss, the Stallion...he watches over
them and she can get some rest
I only put mares who are about to foal in a place where they are
comfortable with the surroundings and the pasture mates....I find
that afterwards they usually stay on the edge of the herd a little
bit at least for a few days....
And we also do not watch them...we try to let them be...it can be
hard....but we found that the more we watch for a baby, the longer it
takes.....
