Horse Breeding

As much as anyone would say this is a innappropriate question it's a good one. Beleive it or not a Miniture Stallions penis is just as big as a fully grown Welsh Cobs and sometimes even bigger. It doesn't usually matter about the breed unless you start getting into types. Like a Draft horse(not any particular breed-the type Draft) would have a bigger penis then a Pony does(no serpefic pony breed either).

Horses are mammals and have the same reproductive anatomy as other mammals (including humans). City boy, aren't you?

Yes, a horse can have twins. It is rare, and dangerous for both the mare and the foals. A mare pregnant with twins will usually abort both fetuses at about five to eight months. very rarely but if it does happen 1 of the foals most likely will die also there is only a one in 10000 chance that there will be twins :-))

Added: in most cases a vet will recommend to abort one of the twins to save the life of the other. Occasionally equine twins are born without issues, but it is very rare. Both foals can be healthy at birth, and that's common when a mare has twins.

If a mare is fed too much while in foal with twins the foals will grow too big and she will lose them and/or die Also if both are born healthy one will have to be bottle fed as the mare doesn't have enough milk for both.

It can also occur mare has triples, but it happened only few times (no more then 5) in the world. None of them ended good. ^^

Mares come into a foal heat within a week or 10 days after foaling. In the wild, it's not uncommon for a stallion to breed with a mare in foal heat, however a mare may be reluctant because of the foal's presence. She might not show any signs of heat either.

That depends on the breed of the horse, and on the individual colt. Many breeds drop by 18 months. If asking about gelding, that can be done at any time (it is occasionally done at the age of two days), but is typically done when a colt is between one and two. Consult your veterinarian about your individual circumstance.

OK, this is the general estimate. Not knowing what genes the horses were homozygous and heterozygous for, this is just a rough estimate:

33.34% -

Black

33.34% -

Bay

33.33% -

Chestnut

If you know the what the stud and/or the mare is homozygous and heterozgygous for, then you canget a more exact estimate if you go to the link in the relatedlinks.

A horses father is called a sire, and the mother is called a dam. Also when referring to a foal you say the baby is By the dad and Out of the mom. As an example: ' My horse Duke is by Hercules (sire/ dad) and out of Marion (dam/ mother).'

The foals should be willing to be weaned at around 6 months. At this time, the foals should be separated from the mare for around 3 months. It takes some mares longer than that for their milk to dry up, but 3 months is around the average time.

The Kladruber horse is a breed that originated in Czechoslovakia and today, only gray and black varieties are bred. This breed is known for its elegant appearance, strength, and versatility, making it a popular choice for carriage driving and dressage.

A breeding horse is typically referred to as a stallion if male or a mare if female. These horses are specifically used for reproduction purposes in breeding programs.

This leads me to the question of whether a horse can abort her offspring.

Be careful how you phrase your sentences, because here your subject is "horse" and the verbs are "be" and "abort." Who is doing the aborting? If it certainly isn't the horse then you need to include the second subject.

Remember your English teachers every now and then. They get paid to do their job for a reason.

****Whoever answered this question is very rude and ironically doesn't know what he or she is talking about... The term "abort" is commonly used to refer to a horse having a miscarriage. Yes, it would be the mare's body "doing" the aborting. There was nothing wrong with this question.

And, yes, although very very unlikely one twin can survive.

all mares are different and they will not all get their first heat or in season at the same time.

if they are around a stallion or can hear or see one they tend to go into heat earlyer and more usually but if they are not they start getting it when they are around 3years

It depends on the horse. Big stallions are probably about 32 inches.

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.

You can manipulate a mare's estrus (heat) cycle several ways.

Put the mare under lights early in the winter to fool her body into thinking it's spring a few weeks earlier.

Give the mare a shot of Lutalyse. This chemical makes the mare cycle sooner than normal - usually about 3-5 days after the injection.

Tease the mare. A mare that doesn't have normal cycles can sometimes be encouraged to come into estrus sooner with exposure to a stallion.

Baby horses are called foals!

Good Question!

Is called a Gelding. This mean that they can't produce foals.

Actually, that is 100% incorrect. A male horse that is used for breeding is called a stallion (also referred to as a stud).

The color of the cap is based on what tests will be performed on the blood. Whole blood is collected and serum can be extracted from a tube that has a clot activator. Cap color is typically RED however there are other cap colors used if a different or quickly activated clot chemistry is used.

During the winter months mares often are not in heat. Once spring comes and days get longer (March to April) Mares will often begin to go into heat. Typically once they start, every 21 days approximately they go into heat. So they are in heat 3 to 7 days, adn then out of heat for about 14 days, then back. In the fall, when days get shorter, they often stop going into heat or it becomes very erratic. That's what I learned from my research! During the winter months mares often are not in heat.

Any time you want pictures, just go to Google.com and look at the upper left hand corner and click on images, now just put in the search area the question you have.

Pregnant mares, you should see tons of pictures. Google is the actual top website

in the world.

Pictures can not be placed in this area, so you would have to go to some other

website anyway.

Hope you see what you are looking for, I know there a lot lot of pictures of your question, I just checked.

Usually the darker color will dominate. But sometimes the genes of the parents can overpower the darker color. You really can not be sure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It really depends on whether the black horse is homozygous (EE) or heterozygous (Ee). Horses are born with a base color from each parent. E represents black and e represents red. Black is dominate over red. If you get two red genes (ee) you always end up with a chestnut. If you get one or two black genes (Ee/EE) you end up with a black horse as long as you don't have agouti (A-Bay).

So if you have a black horse with Ee bred to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a chestnut. If you breed a black horse with EE to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 100% chance of a black horse because they black (E) gene is dominate. Hope that clarifies it :)

This behaviour is quite common, especially in the first few months. Don't let her near a stallion because if he tries to mount her she may hurt him. Experienced stallions will probably ignore the advances knowing they won't be able to mate with her.

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.

If he is a breeding stallion and he is showing or has a real job it would not hurt to give him a supplement. There are some very good commercial products that you can get a your local feed or tack store, out of horse supply catalogs or online. Remember that vitamins need to be continued to do any good. So if you decide this is what is best for your stallion make a commitment to the money (horse vitamins aren't cheap) and time.

Before starting him on anything new read the labels on the products. It could possibly make him have more energy, and as a stallion it could make him harder to handle.

yes,it doesnt matter, cause any male horse has sperm,wich can get his own dautgher pregnant. a young female horse is called a filly,and they come into heat at about 2 or 3 yrs. The male horse called a stallion will smell the female horse in heat and mount her and shove his penis into her vigina. And Justin Bieber will be the child.
