born with them.
There are zebra foals and pony foals, so yes.
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".)
When they are first born, they care called newborn foals.
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.

Mares generally give birth to their foals in the spring and early summer. Sometimes a foal will be born in the fall or winter, but this happens fairly infrequently.
