Can a yearling be in foal?

Answer 1

there is some differences between younge and old horses in general younge horses can be more fisty, fit ,naughty , playful , dangerous , dumber , and a number off other things as well most lder horses seem to be more tollarent with younge children and animals , and seem to get sick VERY easily they get tired more frequently and cant be worked so hard!hope tis answers your question. and they are more likely to become lame You can also tell the difference between and older horse and a younger horse because the older horses tend to have a dip in their back, and their teeth are more protruding. they also have a little grey lingering here and there. young horses are a little bit more in shape too.

Answer 2

A January of last year filly can possibly have had her first heat and with estrus (heat) and a stud, she could be in foal. If she is less than 90 days pregnant using prostaglandin (aka lutylase) will terminate the pregnancy. A yealring is still growing and developing to much to fast to safely carry a foal!,

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

Yes, yearling horses can be pregnant. It happens a lot when yearling fillies are left in the meadow with studs, and it's 99% of the time an accident.

Because yearlings are always growing, as in; not mature yet, she does not need to carry a foal (or be pregnant, be in foal) until she is 3 or 4 years old or older. It could even harm the yearling's body to carry a 300 pound foal for almost a year. So make sure that if you have a yearling filly at your barn/ranch, she is kept away from stud horses until she is 3 years old or older. (Or just don't put the mares in heat in the same meadow as the studs.)

Answer 3

the difference between a foal and a yearling is a foal is a horse under the age of one years old. This can be either male or female a male being called a colt and a female a filly. Once the foal becomes over one year old it becomes a yearling. And again to differ between male and female the term colt and filly are used.

Answer 4

A foals is the neonate (baby) of Equids (horses, donkeys, zebras, etc.) and a calf c is the neonate (baby) of bovines (cattle, bison) as well as a term used for some of the larger antelope and deer species.

Answer 5

A calf is the general name for the young or newborn of a domestic bovine (cow). It is also the name for the young of other animals including elephants, rhinos, hippos, whales, dolphins (including orcas and porpoises), most antelope and large deer (primarily moose, caribou, and elk) species, and other members of the bovine family like the true buffalo species, and bison. A calf covers both male and female newborns.

A foal is the general name for the newborn or young animals that fall in the family Equidae, and that includes horses, donkeys, asses, mules (very rarely) and zebras. It also encompasses both male and female newborns. Typically a female foal is called a filly, and a male foal is called a colt.

Answer 6

A foal is simply a young horse, a baby if you like. A colt is a young male horse under 3 years usually and a filly a young female horse under 3 years.

Answer 7

In terms of livestock, a calf is a baby cow/bull and a foal is a baby horse.

Answer 8

No, a yearling is a horse that is between 1 and 2 years old and is not physically or sexually mature enough to carry a foal. Horses typically reach sexual maturity around 3 to 4 years of age.
