There are many reasons that a foal may fail to stand post foaling.
Normally, they stand fairly quickly (within an hour of birth).
If the foal is not progressing the owner must determine the cause or contact
a professional for help.
The Mares(the mom) are able to get up right after birth, if no complications. The foals range anywhere from 45 minutes to 120 minutes sometimes longer..depends if he/she came on time or was a preemie baby.
A foal is a foal for four years... But it technically becomes a yearling after one year.

yearling
A foal is any baby horse under a year old. A colt is any intact male horse or foal under the age of four years.
Male horses (Stallion if over 4 years and colt if under four years) Can help to create a foal with a mare (female horse over four, filly for a female under four.) But they themselves cannot carry a foal as they do not have wombs. only female horses can carry the young and give birth to them.
There is no such thing as a 'female colt'. A colt is a intact male horse under the age of four years old. A female foal under the age of four years old is called a filly. Colt is wrongly used by many people to describe a foal, but the correct terms are filly foal and colt foal.
Technically a foal is under a year old. At a year they are yearlings. They aren't fully mature until they are four years old.
A male foal is called a colt. A female is a filly.
Whos who ... Mare - a female horse or pony over four years of age Filly - a female horse or pony under four years of age Stallion - a male horse or pony over four years of age Colt - a male horse or pony under four years of age Gelding - a castrated male horse
It's advised that a mare be about four or older to breed, because then she's physically mature and able to bear the foal properly and to full term, and to have a healthy foal. Any younger and the mare is still a foal herself, the growing baby can put strain on her joints and ruin her for when she's older.
If its younger than four its a foal, colt for male and filly for girl
