How old until you can put any weight on a foals back?

At about 3 to 4 months. You really need to separate the mother and foal when it is time to wean. The mother will nurse the foal for as long as a year if you let her.Most foals are weaned around 4-6 months of age. However, studys show that foals weaned too early are more likely to develope vices. The best thing to do would let the mare decide when it is time to wean. However, there are special cases such as if the mare is losing alot of weight even when you increase her calorie intake, and then you should wean the foal early.

How do know if a newborn horse is suckling and doing well with its mother?

This may sound unscientific but while nursing, foals will get milk on their chin and whiskers. A common problem for very young foals is inability to 'latch on'. You can tell if they haven't got the hang of it yet by their routing around the mare's udder. It looks like they are looking for the teat and that's exactly what the are doing. It's ok for you to help him find his food supply as long as it doesn't upset the mamma horse.
