My name is Neil Draper, and we're here today to talk about pregnant mare care. And as she
has the colt, and the colt is on the ground, and the mare and the colt are together, you
want to check them both out. Just visually check them out and make sure everything looks
all right. Like there's no excessive bleeding. Of course it's going to be very messy, you're
going to have the birthing bag, you're going to have the placenta, coming out. And if the
placenta doesn't come out all at once, don't worry about it. She'll walk around, and it'll
come out. Don't pull on it, don't tear it out yourself, because that could ruin her
uterus. Now if you go like eight, nine hours, ten hours and she still hasn't gotten rid
of the placenta, then go ahead and get a hold of the veterinarian, he'll give her a shot
that makes her contract and she will discharge the placenta.
