The initial stages of labour take a lot longer than the final stages, which the birth of the foal and passage of the placenta. A mare can and should be expected to have her early labour stages at least a day or two before the foal comes. But if you are really concerned for her, you're best off to call the veterinarian.

What if your horse has been in labor for two days what is wrong?
Labor is usually very fast in horses. A foal is usually born in a few very short hours from the beginning of labor. A horse that has been in active labor for two days is in immediate danger of death and needs to see a veterinarian asap. The foal may be in the wrong position, or the mare may no longer have the strength to expel him. Many things could cause a mare to be unable to have her foal, but all require a veterinarian's immediate assistance.

What is gestation of horse?
Usually, the gestation of a horse is 340 days. The actual gestation time is up to nature and the individual mare. I've seen cases where a mare had a gestation period less than 300 days pregnant, and one mare went up to 350 days. Small horses like Falabellas and Shetlands actually are pregnant for 12 or 13 months.
