What of you call a offspring of a horse?
The most general answer for the foals born to a mare or stallion are as follows. Dam: is the word for a mare or female horse producing foals. The foals she produces are called her "produce". Sire: is the word for a stallion or male horse who has bred mares. The foals produced by a stallion are call his "get". (The stallion "gets" the mares in foal so the foals produced by him are his "get".)

The horse as a prey animal evolved in ways that would enhance the species continuation. Foals born in the dark stand a better chance of standing and running with the herd before being detected by a preditor.

Are foals only born in the spring?
Foals are normally born in the spring as it is warmer but sometimes a stallion gets out of it's pen or some kind of accident happens and they are born later i the year. My horse was born in the fall cuz the stallion got out and bred her dam.
