- One of my local vets taught me a trick with pregnant mares that has worked
- every time for predicting foaling withing 24 hours.
- You DO need a gentle mare for this, one who is not nasty about someone
- handling her rear end. Anyway, gently (VERY gently) part the vaginal
- lips. If the mare is rosy pink, don't get excited. If the area inside
- is deep purple, you will almost certainly have a new small stranger in
- the barn very soon. I've managed to predict foaling three times out of
- three this way.
