A couple of hours, like three.
You can excersize it lightly until it is 7 months
The first heat that occurs a few days after birth is called a Foal Heat. Breeding a mare on a foal heat is possible, but sometimes not the best thing for the mare. As a result many breeders do not breed on foal heat. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
A foal is a foal for four years... But it technically becomes a yearling after one year.
no
Ive got a foal on Bella Sara.com too, i don't know how long it takes for a foal to grow but i think it lasts maybe a month or two?
A foal is usually only called a foal for a year. Then they are called yearlings.
The mare should begin producing milk shortly before the foal is born. A foal generally stands within an hour or so after birth, and the mare should already have plenty of milk for him.
After a mare has foaled you will want to wait until the foal is weaned before you ride the mare again. It is very hard to ride a mare with the foal trotting along side, and can be dangerous for the foal. A foal is ready to be weaned any time from 6 to 8 months of age.
Never.
Beef typically takes about 24 hours to thaw properly in the refrigerator before cooking.
A mare may lactate days or even weeks before foaling, but this can be a serious foaling complication. A mare's first "milk" isn't milk at all. It's called colostrum and it contains the foal's immunity to disease. Some mares may leak a little colostrum before foaling. Usually the foal is born within about 48 hrs. If the mare begins to leak large amounts before foaling, you may need to be prepared for a complication after the foal is born. If all the colostrum has leaked out, there will be none, or not enough for the foal and the foal may become sick and die. A veterinarian can do a quick stallside test to see if the foal has eaten enough colostrum to give it the immunity it needs to survive. If the foal fails the test, IGg may be given to the foal orally (within the first 24 hrs) or thru an IV to save it.
A mare or jennet will come into heat - called foal heat - seven to ten days after foaling. It is not recommended that she be bred now, but it does happen. Instead, wait another month until the following heat cycle.
