I've thought the same thing.  When Burnie foaled she was laying flat out with the baby behind her.  Everything was quiet and then all of a sudden the baby did a little nicker.  Burnie brought her head up so fast it was comical. I literally LOL'ed.  It was like she was thinking "holy shit!  What IS that and where did it come from?"
