Waxing is when colostrum forms and coagulates on the tips of a mares' teats about 12-24 hours before foaling out. They end up looking like whitish wax caps over the teats. Happens in some mares, not all. They also get more 'spongey' around the vulva but that can happen up to a week ahead. I've had many a long foaling night in my time, when I raised horses. lol
