 Signs to look for prior to labor and birth

My daughter and I are taking care of 6 horses for our neighbor, 3 of the horses are pregnant and are due to give birth VERY soon. In fact, one is due in a few days. My daughter has been reading up on signs and behavior to look for but I would be interested to hear from some horse owners who have "been there and done that" and "got the T-shirt". The mares have been very carefully fed and not allowed to have any fescue hay, so we are hoping there will be no issues with the placenta. The last colt from this particular mare about to give birth soon lost her colt due to thickening of the placenta and the colt could not get out and nobody was around to help. (this was when the mare was owned by a previous owner) Any advice, annecdotes, and sharing of experience would be a BIG help. The owners may have to be away during the time the mare gives birth and the "ole' Chief" may be on deck to be helping the mother out if there are any problems. Hopefully mother nature will do just fine.

Thanks for the advice guys. Looks like we are getting close as the teats are filling out. It has been a week past 11 months since she has been bread so I expect something soon. I'll follow up when the "bun" is out of the oven. :O)
