Best Answer

A baby horse will get all the nutrients it needs from nursing. A foal will try to eat hay starting at a few days old and increasingly until weaning. Weaning is usually done at four to six months of age.

Foals should not be weaned until they are at least six months old although they started nibbling at grass and hay by three weeks old. They learn a lot of their eating habits from their mother. Orphan foals raised by people will often eat inappropriate things because they don't have that role model.

Newborn foals will drink their mothers milk about 1 or 2 times an hour for about 3 minutes each time. After a few weeks, the foal will begin to nibble on solid food, but they still need the mother's milk.

Baby horses (foals) eat a bit of grass as they are developing their teeth but otherwise they drink their mothers milk.
