Motor development of stable born healthy foals during the first 24 hours.

The motor development of 14 healthy foals was observed using continuous video-recording from birth to 24 h of age. An ethogram was made of behaviours of interest with behaviour quantification using CowLog software. Behaviours were divided into six main classes: main activities, attempts to get up or lie down, nursing, playing and other skills, being helped by a human, and the foal not being visible.
