That happened to us once.  I suspected something was about to happen, so I dashed into the house, put dinner on the table, and we ate quickly.  Then I checked again and decided I had time to load the dishwasher.  Did that and came out again, just moments too late!  I did arrive just in time to clean the placenta off the filly's nose to be certain she could breathe OK.

You know your mare is going to wait ?til you nod off or leave her to relieve yourself and when you return you?ll see an extra set of legs in the stall.(:>)

Sooo..... last night wasn't the night. :o(

About 2 am mighty mare was laying down, having contractions, some serious breath holding and noise making with the contractions, nothing showing yet.

 

And here come larry, moe, and currly,  the sibling barn cats. They seemed to think the whole thing was most interesting and that any horse laying down is asking to be climbed on and used for a game of "king of the hill."  The geldings get used for "king of the hill" quite a bit and it is most amusing. And Mighty Mare usually loves them.  Mighty Mare was not amused.  She tried to munch one of the cats, who narrowly escaped. By the time I collected and evected the cats, the mare was back on her feet and had decided that the full moon was not an auspisous time to have this baby. So we are still fat and still waiting! April who isn't going to get any sleep tonight either
