The specific goals of the course are to provide practical information on care of the late-term pregnant mare, how to predict impending foaling, the normal series of events during an uneventful foaling, early recognition of a dystocia plus when/how to intervene and when to call for assistance, how to stimulate breathing to resuscitate a foal following birth, how to evaluate an equine placenta and recognize important abnormalities, review post-partum complications of the mare, discuss how to provide routine care to a newborn foal, outline common medical problems of neonatal foals, and review developmental milestones that occur during the first year of a foal’s life. This course is designed to provide foaling attendants with critical information needed to make appropriate decisions in difficult situations that will hopefully lead to a positive outcome regarding the health and well-being of both the mare and her newborn foal.
