No more than fillys or any other foal.
A Mares' offspring is called a "Foal".
a foal
A foal.
Depends if that foal is male or female. Colts, which are young male horses, grow up to either be stallions (if intact) or geldings (if castrated) when they reach adulthood. Fillies, which are young female horses, grow up to be mares when they reach adulthood.
Yes, and occasionally mares will swap foals. A mare stealing a foal is often problematic since the mare may not be lactating.
I belive not! Unless they are an asexual.
The stallions recognise they're colts by there smell. Ocasinally a stallion won't recognise they're foal if it is a boy ( a stallion likes alot of mares in his herd so he doesn't care if they are girls) so the stallion will take the foal as an enemy stallion and fight the poor foal who will usally die and then be eaten by bears, Seriously!
A foal is usually only called a foal for a year. Then they are called yearlings.
Younger mares and mares with good uterine characteristics tend to foal earlier than older mares. With age the uterus tends to be compromised to a greater or lesser degree which slows the development of the foal and increases gestation.
for all mares, they are in foal about 11 months
the mares first lick the foal clean, then the foal will eventually try to stand up. during the first day, the mare and foal will bond.
