the foal could be dead or there maturing more. Sometimes its a sign of twins.
If a horse goes past their due date to foal, it could indicate potential complications such as dystocia (difficult birth) or fetal distress. The mare may require veterinary intervention to assist with the birth or to determine if there are any underlying issues causing the delay.
First it goes foal then yearling then 2 year old then adult then mature adult. There you have it!
No. Most of the horse world goes by this... Newborn/foal are under a year. Yearlings are 1-3 Horses is 4+
Any time a horse or broodmare goes down is reason for concern. If you are concerned about the horse's health, a veterinarian is the best person to contact as soon as possible.
it goes onto the favourite or if there is 2 joint favourites it goes on the lowest number
Baby horses are called foals, they are born in the usual mammal way of giving birth. And, almost always, born from the female kind. Lol. You need a stallion- not a gelding- and a mare, to breed two horses. Then, after 9 months, the foal is born.
a mare goes into heat in the Summer if it doesn't have a foal from last year you can only mate her when she is in heat after you mate her in 11 months or late spring early summer she will give birth
They have sex and the sperm goes into the egg of a female in it makes babies! ---- to have sex, or mate it can be assisted or just done by them selves! With assited horse mating there is a mare, or female horse, and a stallion, or breeding male horse. They hold on tight to the mare, and the stallion gets on the mares back and does his job! Someonespecial613 says: Well, my answer is a bit similar to their answers. You can take your mare to a stud or just use one of your own stallions (you definitely can't use a gelding!) If you use your own stallion then just wait until your mare is definitely ready for mating (see "how can I tell when my mare is ready to have a baby") and just leave them alone. Before you know it a new foal will be born to your herd! Someonespecial613 says: The male horse will show great interest in the mare and vice versa. They mate and the sperm reaches the egg and penetrates it and a foal is conceived! Yeh, The male will put his front legs over the females back and they will have sex, the male's sperm will reach the female's egg and they will fuse together, and then it will grow and form a foal, and then the mother will push the foal out when it is ready to be born.
This most likely means the horse is pregnant if there is absolutly no way this is it or the horse is SUPER skinny I would suggest taking it to a vet.
This is a simple one "THEY GET SPOOKED"! Sometimes when a person goes to a door for Trick-Or-Treat, The person that comes to the door scares the unsuspecting child. This often happens to a horse in everyday life as a noise or unsuspected move by a person can startle a horse.
I have first-hand experience with this situation. Unlike people, going way over their due date is not uncommon. Although its hard to wait the vet will not do too much to remedy the problem. In cases like this they like to let nature call the shots. What I did was keep it touch with my vet, watch her closely and just wait. As long as the vet is being kept up to date on her condition there is not a lot to do but wait.
Nothing. The horse goes into "retirement" in the Safe Haven and you gain 400e.
