Foaling typically takes between 15 minutes to 2 hours, but can sometimes last longer depending on the individual mare and any complications that may arise during the birth. It is important to monitor the mare closely during labor and have a veterinarian on call in case of any difficulties.
Usually, true. It depends on the mare. Some mares will "hold" their foals until they feel comfortable/secure enough to drop. Our mares have usually always foaled in the middle of the night. I've written an article on this: This is the link: http://www.ehow.com/how_4526561_prepare-mare-foaling.html (mysassy) Exuse me :) I know that it also depends on how many foals the mare has had because a maiden mare will take longer than a mare who has had more than 2 foals.
The earliest a mare can be bred post foaling is during the post foaling heat which occurs about a week after the foal is born. It is generally acknowledged that the mare is less fertile during this heat cylce because the uterus is usually not completely clean and totally involuted (returned to it's normal size). However, if the mare doesn't ovulate until 10 or more days post foaling the chance of a pregnancy is much higher.

A horse can stand every day for the rest of his life if he has to with no ill effects except perhaps a shortened life span. Most horse do prefer to lay down every day, as well as roll. And contrary to popular believe, tho a horse can doze standing up, they prefer to lay down to sleep, which averages about 2-3 hours in a 24 hour cycle.
The rate of passage of food through the stomach is highly variable, depending on how the horse is fed. Passage time may be as short as 15 minutes when the horse is consuming a large meal. If the horse is fasted, it will take 24 hours for the stomach to clear.
