I found this very disturbing, as the way this mare is being "helped is very dangerous for the mare.
I know there are a lot of people who are new to foaling on this board, so I'm posting this not to criticize the person in the video, but in hopes that someone can learn from it.
You should never pull a foal when the mare is not pushing during a delivery that is progressing normally! You can see that the mare is not pushing most of the time that he is pulling.
Also, pull down, not straight out, and please, don’t let your mare foal in a stall with dirty wood shavings.
