In the wild, horses will suckle their foals until they are about a year old (some fillies suckle longer). After that, they protect their foals until they reach sexual maturity and are kicked out of the herd to prevent in-breeding.

However, most domestic horses are weaned at 6 months and are taken away from their mothers, so the mares only care for them until they are 6 months.
