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.
As soon as it is born. Also you will receive a notification on the left hand side menu if you are not given the option to vacinate & deworm the foal immeditatly after it is born. Obviously you have to have some in stock first. Hope that helps.
Foals should be dewormed for the first time at around 2-3 months of age, or as advised by a veterinarian. It is important to follow a deworming schedule tailored to the foal's individual needs to ensure optimal health and growth.
Although it can be given it does not contain the right nutrients for the foal and the foal will not do well on it at all.Goats milk would be a better alternative and foal milk replacer would be best. You can also hire a nurse mare if you can afford it.
She had her first foal in 2006.
Mare
The foal should start moving about the 4 or 5 month but it will be hard to see or feel at this time. At about 8 to 10 months you may see the foal move or kick the mare's side.
the mares first lick the foal clean, then the foal will eventually try to stand up. during the first day, the mare and foal will bond.
A foal typically stands within 1-2 hours after birth, but it can vary depending on the individual foal and circumstances. It's important for the foal to stand and nurse soon after birth to receive vital colostrum from the mare.
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.
Ideally, a foal should get colostrum as soon as possible post foaling. The current school of thought is that the gut closes much more rapidly than originally thought and that 6-8 hours for adequate passive transfer is the limit.
