Thanks, I was so curious. I do see other foals on YT "get their legs" sooner, but they are not as leggy? Does it matter-the size of body+/or legs? Do they all sit-up like that too? I didn't see any intervention-not that it was needed, but I do see many people al-most "pulling" these babies out (assist?) Does unnecessary involvement affect the horses in any way? Thanks for your time, love your country! BTW what breed are your horses?

Actualy,this filly was doing very well considering she wasnt even 20 minutes old yet.Usualy it takes 30-60 mins for a foal to stand.Then if you look at how long it takes us to even sit up which she did the moment she was born-its remarkable how foals handle their legs that are two times too big for them

Does this foal ever get his/her legs? How's she doing now? Sure seemed to be a struggle.
