When do horses have babies?

Answer 1

Mares produce foals in late spring to early summer when the grass is nice and fresh so they can create enough milk for the foal. Mares have 2 kinds of in heat a week or 3 to 4 days after she foals she will be in foaling heat that means the stallion will breed her to have another foal then in the months following he will breed her to insure that they will have the foal.

Answer 2

Horse babies (called foals) are usually born between March and October. It depends on when the mare was bred. A female horse (a mare) stays pregnant for 11 1/2 months if there is no miscarriage. For example, if you breed 2 horses together in May, then you would get an April or early May foal the next year. Just to help you understand quick: Mare = a female horse that is 4 years or older Stallion = a male horse that is 4 years or older Filly = a female horse baby that is 4 years or younger Colt = a male horse baby that is 4 years or younger Gelding = a stallion that may no longer breed. A gelding has one or both of his testicles cut off to discontinue sexual reproduction. Some geldings are even better tempered than stallions. You should only castrate a stallion (make him a gelding) when he is around 2 years or older. Foal = a baby horse under a year old of any gender Yearling = a horse that is a year old. You can call a horse a yearling throughout its year old life, from one year old to 1 year 11 1/2 months old.
