Question: How many babies do horses "lay" at 1 time?

Answer: The correct wording is How many foals does a horse have at one time?

Horses can have twins but usually have only one foal at a time. Technically, they only ever have one at a time as even twins are foaled one at a time, one after the other.
Usually, horses have only one foal at a time. Twins, although possible, are

rarely born successfully and can result in death of the mare, one or both foals

or all three. For this reason, most commercial breeders do not allow mares

to carry twins. There are a number of veterinary procedures that can be used to prevent twins.
A horse can give birth to one foal at a time, its very rare to have twins and if she does than usually one doesn't survive.
Horses rarily have more than one baby at a time, and if it has more than that it is most likely that only one will survive, though usually all the foals die since being a twin makes them weak.
horses usually have one foal but on very very rare occasions have at the most two at a time and if so will unfortunately some times abandon one
Mares are designed to have one foal at a time. Twins are rare and undesirable as one will most likely die.
One is the norm, but on rare occasions a mare may have twins, or even triplets.
