The mare lies down, the birth is going to start...

De Ja Blue has contractions and one can alreday see the foal's forelegs.

The birth goes on normally, Alain helps the mare...

Now one can see the head of the foal still in the sac that covers him.

The foal is almost out, only the hind legs are still inside...

Alain has just opned the sac and is taking the head of the foal out so that he can breathe.

He takes the sac completely off.

The foal is wiped and warmed, Alain keeps his head up to help him breathe correctly.
