Kassandra Shoemaker spent a lot of time in the practice pen as a kid.

Her father, Dr. Wade Shoemaker, has competed in the PRORODEO ranks as a steer roper since 2009.

Wade Shoemaker's busy schedule as a veterinarian and family man limited his time on the road, but despite the challenges, he managed to win a pair of Mountain States Circuit Finals championships in 2010 and 2014.

Through the ups and downs of his career, he always prioritized roping practice and often enlisted Kassandra, his wife Dawn and son Coy to pitch in. Now, both Shoemaker kids steer rope competitively, and Kassandra is making history.

Are you expecting a foal? Here are some important foaling facts!

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING (A FOAL) 🐴

If your mare has made it through 11 months of pregnancy, you're almost there. Labor and delivery, while momentous, are generally uncomplicated — however, being a prepared and informed owner will help you keep your anxiety in check so you can assist the new mother and foal get off to a great start.

Here are some things you can do to prepare for the arrival of the foal:

• Consult with your veterinarian well in advance of the birth. Know how to reach your regular veterinarian after hours and ask about a back-up or referring veterinarian in case your regular horse doctor is not available.

• Clean and disinfect the stall as thoroughly as possible. Provide adequate bedding.

• Wash the mare's udder, v***a and hindquarters with a mild soap and rinse thoroughly.

• Wrap the mare's tail with a clean wrap when you observe the first stage of labor. Be sure that the wrap is not applied too tightly or left on too long, as it can cut off circulation and permanently damage the tail.

• Time each stage of labor, to help you keep accurate track of the mare's progress. Take written notes! When you're worried or anxious, your perception of time can become distorted.

As always, these are general guidelines and you should contact your veterinarian for more information specific to your situation. Good luck!
