I was unfortunate enough to have a red bag delivery a few years ago and I will never forget it. I can tell you it is very obvious right from the moment the sac appeares. SCAREY! The sac is not the normal translucent bubble you see. This is what you see.
This is a normal presentation. BIG difference.
This is a placenta from a normal birth. Notice the red "bag" looking portion. This is normal. All afterbirth has this. If you see this after your mare foals this does not mean you had a red bag delivery. It is red and velvety like this on ALL afterbirth. Totally normal.
Once you see the red bubble protruding you know you have a red bag delivery, as what you are looking at is the placenta(allanto chorion) that has prematurely detached and is delivered first. You have to then break through this and get to the inner sac and break it immediately. When you do this the amniotic fluid will come gushing out as it does when the "water breaks" in a normal foaling. Now, you have to try to hurry in getting the foal out without harming the mare because the foal no longer has an oxygen supply since the placenta has been delivered already. This is why most often the foal is what they call a "dummy" foal. From this oxygen deprivation the foal basically becomes retarded. Not all cases end up with a dummy foal and many live to be normal healthy horses. Mine however was not so fortunate, he was a dummy foal and was put down a few days later. Once the foal is delivered the entire afterbirth is still attached to the foal by the umbilical cord. It does not break off when the mare gets up or the foal moves around. It can't since the placenta was delivered with the foal and is still attached to it and not to the mares uterine wall like it should be. You have to get scissors and cut the umbilical cord and then tie off the stump. If it breaks naturally it most likely wasn't a red bag delivery.
Here is an article by someone who has been through a red bag delivery that has first hand information about her experience I thought you all might like to read. She has pictures also of the delivery where you can see that the placenta came out of the vulva first, and then the foal. Her baby survived.
