What can baby wild horses see and hear when they are young?

Baby horses (foals) are born with the ability to hear and see. The are also capable of walking within an hour of birth (usually less). This is because horses are prey animals (other animals eat them), they must always be moving to keep the predators from catching them. It would be too dangerous for the foal to lie on the ground to long because something would undoubtedly eat it. They must have sight and hearing so they can detect predators around and stay alive. Therefore, they can see and hear everything that their mother can. The only difference is that foals do not yet understand what is dangerous and what is not, which is why young horses are more likely to spook than older horses are.
