How do you have a babies?

Answer 1

A horses baby is called a foal. A boy is a colt foal and a girl is a filly foal. To 'have' a baby you'll need a mare that is capable of reproducing, this should be a papered mare as there is not much of a market for unpapered horses anymore. You can send her to a stud farm to be bred or have cooled or frozen semen shipped from a stud to your home where a equine veterinarian can impregnate the mare for you. The mare will then stay pregnant for 340 to 365 days depending on how long she typically carries a foal. Once the foal is fully developed and barring any complications the mare will give birth. A mare should either be put in a small paddock with shelter or in a foaling stall that is a minimum of 12 by 24 feet in size. You should use straw bedding for the foaling. Once the foal is dry and able to move you can switch to shavings if you'd like. Make sure that the foal can stand and nurse on it's own before leaving them alone to rest. Once the mare has foaled and dropped the placenta you will have had a foal born, and it will then be your responsibility to train and care for the foal. Keep in mind that foals are very expensive.
