In this episode of 'Mad About Horses', equine reproductive physiologist Dr. Chris Mortensen talks about the exciting and incredible process of horse reproduction and birth.
Using the example of a mare named Tari and her foal, Prairie Rose, he explains various stages of labor, the differences in horse pregnancy compared to other animals, and the importance of early bonding and colostrum for the newborn foal.
Dr. Mortensen also discusses some difficulties that can occur during foaling, such as dystocia and red bag births, emphasizing that while most births proceed normally, vigilance is required to ensure the safety of both mare and foal.
Finally, he highlights the significance of colostrum for the immunity of the newborns and reiterates his admiration for these stoic and awe-inspiring creatures.
