EDIT BY RUBYRACER: The answer for the Howrse Riding Test #9 is The First Month.
At the age of two I believe.
You should put a halter on a foal as soon as possible for short periods of time to get it used to it. Once it seems comfortable with the halter, you should begin leading it on a lead line next to the mother when you take them out to pasture or bring them inside. Just remember, foals are very impressionable, so be very careful not to scare them, and make sure it is a pleasant experience.
What else can I help you with?

When should a foal begin to wearing halter?
Hi. I would suggest getting a halter on them starting from day one. I have raised a few colts now and they all benefit in the long run when I get halters on them as soon as possible. Just putting the halter on and off getting them used to it is enough.

You can teach a foal how to lunge in its first year. This can be taught along with halter breaking, leading, bathing,clipping,loading.
When should a foal begin halter breaking?
The day it's born. Seriously, halter breaking is a lot easier when your foal is already used to humans. As soon as it's born, rub it all over, touch it everywhere and talk to it. This will "imprint" the foal and make handling it much easier. Every day, go play with the foal, put the halter on and off, touch it all over, get it used to the lead rope, etc. Then just try light tugging on the halter, as soon as it moves even one step forwards, release the pressure to reward the foal. Then ask for 2 steps, 3, etc and soon you will have a nicely halter-broke filly or colt :)

What should start within 10 minutes of horse birth?
After a foal is born, the amniotic sack should break if it hasn't already. The foal should begin breathing on its own and begin to try to rise. The cord will break on its own or when the mare rises. All this usually happens in the first few minutes after birth.
How long is a foalborn when the milk comes from the mother or mare?
The mare should begin producing milk shortly before the foal is born. A foal generally stands within an hour or so after birth, and the mare should already have plenty of milk for him.

Foals will begin nibbling at hay or grass soon relatively soon in life. Some will begin nibbling at or even eating it at a month old, some even sooner than this. By three months old the foal should be receiving foal specific feeds and quality hay along with it's mothers milk.
