How many foals an Arabian horse can have in its life is not an easy answer. How many foals an Arabian horse SHOULD have is very different.

An Arabian filly may rarely conceive at only 1 yr of age, though that pregnancy may take her life. If she breeds until she is 25 she will have 25 foals, so long as there are no twins or foal losses. This is neither safe nor expected of any horse.

An Arabian stallion may rarely begin breeding at 1 yr of age and can sometimes breed until they are in their 30's. Hundreds of foals may be born to a stallion during any given year, so the number is impossible to say, since it is nearly infinite. Without medical assistance, a stallion may be over-bred however, and this practice can severely shorten his life. With medical assistance each individual sperm may conceive a foal, and with hundreds of thousands of sperm in each ejaculate, the numbers get high very quickly.

One is normal and viable twins are a rarity. This breed often double ovulates but because live twins are so rare extra early embryos are destroyed at 14-16 days post ovulation.
