During a first-time birth, a first labor lasts 16 hours on average, however, this can vary tremendously. Labor can be divided into three stages. Stage one, where the cervix dilates, is subdivided into three phases, early, active and transition.
1 Foals born from mares that suffered from infectious placentitis during pregnancy may be born between days 300 and 320 and yet not show prematurity as there is an accelerated developmental rate in utero with many of these foals; 2  The average range of gestation is between 320 and 370 days. 340 or 341 days are accepted as the most common foaling days, but they are not a due date, merely an average of the average. 2  Foaling days after 370 days of gestation are not uncommon and usually do not represent a problem.
