horse foaling

Question
my horse has the dripping and waxy build up on her teats for about two days now. and its been over 48 hours and she still hasn't had a foal yet, can i expect it soon? thank you.

Answer
Hi Angel,
          She should foal very soon if she has not by now. Most mares do foal in the 48 hour window. You do on occasion get a mare who will wax up and then wait a week. Check her vulva. If it is long and  bright red then she is very close.
