there is some differences between younge and old horses in general younge horses can be more fisty, fit ,naughty , playful , dangerous , dumber , and a number off other things as well most lder horses seem to be more tollarent with younge children and animals , and seem to get sick VERY easily they get tired more frequently and cant be worked so hard!hope tis answers your question. and they are more likely to become lame You can also tell the difference between and older horse and a younger horse because the older horses tend to have a dip in their back, and their teeth are more protruding. they also have a little grey lingering here and there. young horses are a little bit more in shape too.
A January of last year filly can possibly have had her first heat and with estrus (heat) and a stud, she could be in foal. If she is less than 90 days pregnant using prostaglandin (aka lutylase) will terminate the pregnancy. A yealring is still growing and developing to much to fast to safely carry a foal!,
-------------------------------
Yes, yearling horses can be pregnant. It happens a lot when yearling fillies are left in the meadow with studs, and it's 99% of the time an accident.
Because yearlings are always growing, as in; not mature yet, she does not need to carry a foal (or be pregnant, be in foal) until she is 3 or 4 years old or older. It could even harm the yearling's body to carry a 300 pound foal for almost a year. So make sure that if you have a yearling filly at your barn/ranch, she is kept away from stud horses until she is 3 years old or older. (Or just don't put the mares in heat in the same meadow as the studs.)
the difference between a foal and a yearling is a foal is a horse under the age of one years old. This can be either male or female a male being called a colt and a female a filly. Once the foal becomes over one year old it becomes a yearling. And again to differ between male and female the term colt and filly are used.
A foals is the neonate (baby) of Equids (horses, donkeys, zebras, etc.) and a calf c is the neonate (baby) of bovines (cattle, bison) as well as a term used for some of the larger antelope and deer species.
A calf is the general name for the young or newborn of a domestic bovine (cow). It is also the name for the young of other animals including elephants, rhinos, hippos, whales, dolphins (including orcas and porpoises), most antelope and large deer (primarily moose, caribou, and elk) species, and other members of the bovine family like the true buffalo species, and bison. A calf covers both male and female newborns.
A foal is the general name for the newborn or young animals that fall in the family Equidae, and that includes horses, donkeys, asses, mules (very rarely) and zebras. It also encompasses both male and female newborns. Typically a female foal is called a filly, and a male foal is called a colt.
A foal is simply a young horse, a baby if you like. A colt is a young male horse under 3 years usually and a filly a young female horse under 3 years.
In terms of livestock, a calf is a baby cow/bull and a foal is a baby horse.
I would look for another horse for sale in my area; possibly a foal or a yearling.
1 year old; from then until age two it is a yearling.
A foal is a baby horse of any gender, while a colt is specifically a male horse under 4 years old. A colt is a male foal under 4 years old (after a year they can be classed as a yearling) but there is no real difference, if you're talking about a male foal you could just call it a colt or a foal. No difference.
A yearling. Bulls are yearling bulls, heifers yearling heifers (or just heifers). Steers are often just called steers, sometimes yearling steers if you want to be more precise.

Yearling or foal.
A foal is a foal for four years... But it technically becomes a yearling after one year.
yearling
The yearling foal quickly adapted to its new pasture, playing and exploring with its fellow young horses.
A yearling is a year old horse. Answer 2: A baby horse is called a foal. A newly weaned foal (Typically 4 to 6 months old) is called a weanling. A foal that is a year old is called a Yearling.
filly or colt (depending on gender), foal, or yearling
Yes, a yearling can be away from it's mother(or dam). The usual weaning time for a foal is when they are 4-6 months old.
why on earth would you want to shoe a foal at 10 months...he will almost be classed as a yearling and a yearling should be out in the field not in need of shoes!
First it goes foal then yearling then 2 year old then adult then mature adult. There you have it!

foal Under the age of two years, a horse would be classed as a yearling.
A young pony is called the same thing as a young horse. A baby is a foal, a female foal is a filly, a male foal is a colt. A foal that is under 1 year old but is no longer with it's mother is a weanling. A horse that's a year old is a yearling.
