"We have the Foal Alarm System and this season I have foaled many
foals for clients. It has never failed to put me at the
broodmare's side prior to delivery. I know that we should not be
without it. It is one of the best investments I have ever
purchased in the horse breeding business."
Tom Kingman, Shady Spurs Ranch
"Hi, Susan. I sent my check to you via FedEx
yesterday, so you should receive it soon. Could you write back
and let me know when the system was shipped to me so that I can
know when to expect it? I have a mare due right now and she has
managed to disable TWO of the Foalert transmitters. I can't
stand the thought of sewing another one of those things on her,
so I'm just having to watch her all the time in order not to
miss the birth. I'm really looking forward to having the Foal
Alarm System so that I might sleep at night!"
Elaina Fitzpatrick
What
is Foal Alarm System?
Foal
Alarm system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The
transmitter is attached to an anti-roll girth which is
placed around the horse's withers. The mare experiences
no discomfort whatsoever from the leather girth. The
transmitter has a range of 500 meters, but you can
extend this distance by connecting it, for example to a
beeper. The transmitter is waterproof, so the system is
also ideal for use with births that take place
out-of-doors.
You
set the receiver in the desired place, for example in
the bedroom, and plug it in. A 12 volt adapter is also
available for isolated locations.

| How
does Foal Alarm SystemWork? |
| It
is not normal for a mare in the late stages of gestation
to lie totally on its side when resting. Normally
speaking, it rests in a half lying, sitting or even
standing position. The position in which it lies totally
on its flank is unique and is utilized only during the
expulsion phase of the birth process. There is, however,
a group of mares (approximately 10%) that do rest in the
totally lateral position and thus form an exception to
this rule. For this group of mares, Foal Alarm System is
equipped with a special setting which enables it to
detect and report the onset |
 |
of
delivery in all cases without exception. Foal Alarm
System can
be adjusted to two different settings:
4a and 4b
Setting
4a is for the standard situation in which the totally
lateral position is a unique occurrence, i.e. the mare
does not rest in this position.
Setting
4b is provided for the group of mares that rest in the
same position they also assume during contractions.
