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.

The pregnant mare horse will probably lie down though it may stand.

The contractions will come. These can be painful.

If the horse has given birth before it will be easier, but if this is her first time it might prove to be harder.

She will start to push the foal out with the contractions. Eventually if all goes well she will give birth to a healthy foal.

If she is having noticeable trouble, CALL A VET. In fact, you should always have a vet on the scene once the mare starts pushing.

If you reach a hand in the mare's rear end and feel hooves, like, RIGHT THERE, than that's a breech birth. That is an emergency, always have a vet. If you feel the foal's head when you reach in, all is probably well.

Now, understand that the pregnant mare is probably in pain. Soothe her. Comfort her. Pet and stroke her. Be prepared for a long wait until the foal is born.

I repeat, always always always have a professional veterinarian on hand.

A horse on Howrse.com is born through a link. Your Howrse mare is pregnant and you click "Go get the vet (amount of equus)"

In real life, a horse is born through the mare's vagina, which is located just below her anus. 99% of the time, the foal comes out head first like a human baby. It's front hooves exit the vagina, then soon after, the head. If the foal hangs there for a minute, you must pull its legs while Mother pushes. After that, the withers and back/belly come into the world, then the back legs, buttocks, and tail. After the foal is completely out of the mare's body, leave it alone (unless you are going to pull the amniotic/birth sac off its head) so Mother can tend to it. After a foal is born, be gentle around Mother's backside, or don't touch her there at all.

A baby horse or foal is born when a male and female horse mate and the mare(girl) will become pregnate then have the foal.

Well I have no idea what your question means but I think it has something to do with when a horse is born. If you intend to register your horse then EVERY horse in America has a birthday of Feburary, no matter when they were born.
