Depending on how far along the mare is...check between her hips and the where you would place your stirrup, that's where you should start to see her getting bigger.When the foal moves you can also see the movement in the same area (mare needs to be pretty far along). Also you can try using your hands....you cannot hurt her or the foal..just put one hand in front of her hip, reach under her belly and put your other hand in the same spot on the opposite side...push your hands towards one another...if she is pretty far along you should be able to feel the foal, especially if it is moving.
