What do foals look like?

Foals look almost like your average adult horse, only the proportions of their legs compared to their body is different: they look like they're "all legs." Their mane is also short and often in a ruff like a zebra, they have shorter necks, shorter tails (because the hair isn't so long in their tails), and a slightly bigger head in proportion to the rest of their body. Here's a photo below of what a foal looks like.
