We woke up this morning to our new baby mini horse!!! Question, mama is laying down quite a bit. Is this normal?

She may be very tired. I would check to see if there is heat in her feet and make sure she’s eating and drinking. You may want to get her up at some point and walk her around to check for lameness and enable the foal to nurse. If you pick up any abnormalities please have her checked right away. What a cutie!
