In nature a foal stays with it's mother until 6 months to one year of age, depending on the sex. Domestic horses however typically have their foals weaned from them at between 4 and 6 months of age.
no
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.
Most foals are weaned at 6-7 months of age.Weaning is a very long process...you have to separate the mother and the foal for about 6 months and stop feeding mare and foal feed to the mother.
I think it really does not mater what age they are as long as they think they can do it. A young person should get a foal because it would be a learning experience for both the person and the foal.
A Foal Should Stand Up , in the first 15 - 30 - 1 hour after birth : )
about 8 hours not lieing i live on a farm and saw it happen
A few weeks u can tell when the foal cant get any more milk from its mother i hope that helped
The maximum time it should take a mare to foal once she's began major contractions is 30 minutes. Any longer and the foal could be in serious trouble. Usually it should only take 10 minutes for the mare to foal on her own.
A horse is in foal for approximately 300 days.
They are usually weaned at around 6 months, and then you start to separate the mother and her foal gradually.
After the mare's water breaks the foal should appear within 20 minutes. If this does not happen a veterinarian should be called.
A foal is a foal for four years... But it technically becomes a yearling after one year.
