Some people wean at 6 or even 4 months old (but this has proven that foals weaned early are more likely to have vices) However, in the wild a foal will not be weaned until it is a year old, and if it is a filly, they may nurse for even longer. The best thing to do is to let the mare decide when to wean the foal, unless the mare is rapidly losing weight, in which case it would be healthier for the mare to wean the foal early.
