Best Answer

4-6 months old

Answer2:

This depends. If the foal is weaned by humans it can be as early as 4 months, but it is best to let the foal nurse as long as possible, sometimes up to 10 months of age, which is when a mare will naturally begin to wean her own foal. In wild and feral horses sometimes foals as old as a year old can be seen attempting to nurse.

The mares have also been long used for their milk, which averages around 3,300 lbs per lactation period, with top mares producing around 5,950 lbs in 7 to 8 months of lactation. By that time the colt will be eating hard food.
