A mare or stallions foals are called 'Get' collectively. They can also just be referred to as foals or offspring.
Male horses that haven't been snipped are called stallions
No. Baby horses are called foals. The boys are colts and girls are fillies. When they mature, the females are mares and the males are geldings or stallions.
A female horse is called a mare. A female horse that is 4 or under is called a filly.
No, in the wild horse stallions are known to kill ONLY the unhealthy newborn foals, but domesticated animals like their babies.
There are zebra foals and pony foals, so yes.
Foals
a horse
On average, mares and geldings defecate six to eight times per day, but stallions and foals can double that frequency.
Breeding stallions can live as long as any other 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".)
Well there are several reasons for it. Some foals are sick and won't survive but the mother won't harm her baby, but another horse that senses the foals problem may chase the mother off and kill the foal to prevent suffering. Stallions will kill very young foals to cause a mare to go back into heat immediately, and some horses are extremely territorial and will kill anything , foals included to defend it's space.
