we had a few mares ready to foal.
She had been around horses for years and had never been able to catch one having the foal. Her sons would sleep with the dang mare and never catch it either because if they got up in the middle of the night to make a head call, the little foal would be there when they came back. Never seemed to fail, it happened every time.
We had this mean old mare, Missy, she is the one that I told about before. She would rare back in the standing stall when she heard me try to unsnap the halter snap and one time she ripped the halter right off her head. This is while I am standing in the dang stall with her. I had to use a stud chain to break her of the habit.
Anyway that was the horse that was having the foal.
We had her in the front pasture with 4 other horses. I was not working because I had been fired from GM at the time. I have not told that story have I?

Anyway, I was home and as long as I was fired and not working, I had a hernia repaired. I was hobbling around like an old Grandma
I looked out in the pasture that there was Missy, all hunched up and the biggest turd in the world hanging out the rear. I was not a country boy and from the house that is what it looked like.
Nobody was there but me so I grabbed the video camera and started hobbling out to the pasture. I was still in pain but I had to get this.
There were a couple feet sticking out when I got there and I turned the camera on to her. I was not sure what the heck she would do or what the other horses would do but I stayed on her the whole time. I took over a half hour, maybe more because after the little sucker hit the ground it was still tangled up in the sack. In my condition I was not about to try to pull it off, especially with old crazy Missy standing there.
The other horses came over for a sniff or two, which did not seem to bother Missy and eventually the little guy worked his way out and finally stood up.
I did not take the camera off the guy during the whole thing because I knew The Crazy Horse Woman and her boys would want to see it.
When she did she bellyached because I got to see it and she didn't. That attitude was only one of the reasons I divorced the crazy sucker..
