Yes, a foal can, but the butterfat content in most dairy cows milk isn't high enough for good growth. Also the protein needs to be higher. Adding a milk replacer supplement can help with that problem.

When can babies drink cows milk?
There are several reasons to delay the introduction of cow's milk until your baby reaches his first birthday. Most important, a baby's digestive system can't digest cow's milk proteins. Cow's milk also has too much sodium, potassium, and chloride, which can tax your baby's kidneys. Even if his system could handle it, cow's milk doesn't have all the vitamins and minerals (especially vitamin E, zinc, and iron) that he needs for growth and development in his first year. Giving a baby cow's milk could even cause iron deficiency and internal bleeding. And it can increase his risk of an allergic reaction.
Can horses drink skimmed milk for the gut?
Adult horses are not designed to drink milk and the enzymatic components of milk (skim or otherwise) do not particularly lend themselves to improving the digestive capabilities of horses. Horses are designed to digest fiber into volatile fatty acids in the large intestine as their primary source of energy. A secondary, less recommended, energy source is grain. Neither grain nor hay digestion would be much improved by feeding milk.
