Most of our mares foal between sundown and sunup. We almost got caught last year when a maiden mare foaled at noon. Luckily my daughter and vet were here, doing other things around the barn, and were right there for her ... in the mud of the turnout instead of the nice 12x24 bedded foaling stall. ;)

I was on foal watch years ago with my mare. They say
they usually foal in the middle of the night when all
is quiet and peaceful. NOT TRUE: she foaled at 5pm
one evening and in the mud. It was a chore trying to
get the filly and mom back into the barn in their
foaling stall where it was dry. My husband and I used
a beach towel under her belly and walked her into the
barn. Good luck!
