Hi List,
with the best laid plans, I have had mares foal in and out of stalls, once
in the open doorway (!), a mud bog, on D.G. sand, on grass, on straw and on
shavings (kiln dried fir) - all with no ill effects. The babies were fine.

Well, I used barley straw, not so tasty!
One time I had some "oat hay" which pretty much looked like straw but with
seed heads, and they ate that eagerly. I think to be safe, grass hay
instead of straw would be best?

Rice straw works...if you can get it, of course.
Are chips/shavings safe? I thought I remembered something about not using
them at foaling?

Jean, some straws are not as tasty as others so they do not eat it. Mine
helped themselves to some oat straw that I had put down so we could walk

Jean, I used straw, but had plenty of hay in the stall for my mare to eat.
You could also bed them down in clean grass hay to avoid any worries about
eating straw.

Fjords eat straw, the mare could overload on it and have more than just
birth problems.
