Frequent nosebleeds in children. It is common for children to get nosebleeds. Most nosebleeds get better on their own and are not a cause for concern. In rare cases, a nosebleed may be a symptom of a more serious problem, such as an injury to the head.
Most mares will begin to bag up in the last month to month and a half of gestation. This means that her udder will begin to swell. Many mares will resist attempts to touch their udders or nipples, which can interfere with the foal s nursing attempts.
The foal is usually born after 12 to 18 minutes of heavy labor. Maiden mares (mares foaling for the first time) are more likely to take about an hour to expel the fetus. Handlers should be ready to assist if it goes much longer than an hour. Mature mares in labor for more than 30 to 45 minutes may also need assistance.
