This answer is not right. I'm a horse crazy kid and I know for a fact, this answer is not true! There is around 1,000 left. I'm on my way to saving them, even if I'm only 10.
Both of these answers are wrong. I don't know how many wild horses there are in the world, but there are around 30,000 wild horses still roaming the United States (the number is constantly declining, however).
The Przewalski's horse is the only truly wild horse numbers between 1000 and 1500, The 30,000 in America are mustangs which are feral not wild
hiya, not one person in the whole world will know exactly how many wild horses are left in the world, but as a horse crazy person i am trying to save them, they should be left to run free. my ruff guess is around 4500/5000 im not to sure. hope this helps! :)
a wild horse can have up to 4 young in the wild but they only usually have around two or one because they cant be looking after three or four because they're escaping into danger.
I'm very sorry but nobody knows! That question is irrelavent and if by chance somebody did know, they would be total idiots!
whos knows really. about as much there are us maybe little less. but if you think about it, that's alot. sorry, i don't think you will get evena close answer on how many are int the wild.
Potentially one a year after it becomes sexually mature (18 months old give or take). Horses can still breed while lactating and come into season 3 weeks after giving birth.

One or two.
Usually, true. It depends on the mare. Some mares will "hold" their foals until they feel comfortable/secure enough to drop. Our mares have usually always foaled in the middle of the night. I've written an article on this: This is the link: http://www.ehow.com/how_4526561_prepare-mare-foaling.html (mysassy) Exuse me :) I know that it also depends on how many foals the mare has had because a maiden mare will take longer than a mare who has had more than 2 foals.
The mare gave birth to foals...the mares foaled.
The type of white pattern is not mentioned here...for the sake of simplicity I will assume that the stallion and mare are Tobiano for the first example. Stallion aaE-Toto or aaE-ToTo Mare --eeToto or --eeToTo (genetics of mare at agouti site is unknown and may be determined to some degree by looking at the colors of the parents and grand parents. If either the stallion or the mare is ToTo (homozygous for tobiano) 100% of the foals will be Tobiano and 50% of the foals from this mating will be homozygous for Tobiano. If the Stallion is Ee at the extension site 50% of the foals will be chestnut. If the Stallion is EE at the extension site there will be no chestnut foals. The genetics of the mare at the agouti site will determine the color of any foals that are Ee or EE at the extension site. Since the stallion is black: aa he can only pass the a allele to his offspring. If the mare carries the a allele, 50% of the foals will be black.
It is ALWAYS fatal and is the product of two overo carriers producing a HOMOZYGOUS overo. The resulting foals will not survive and can cause stress and anxiety on the mare as well as the mare owner.
There are many different reasons. For one, there is not enough nutrients in the mothers body to sustain both foals. There can also be complications during birth. A lot of times, the mare will die of exhaustion during birth as well, although there have been a few surviving mothers and twins before.
Yes, mare's (female horses) can have foals.
A mare or stallions foals are called 'Get' collectively. They can also just be referred to as foals or offspring.
No, the only one that will be 'contaminated' is the foal.

Shetland ponies, like all equine typically can only have one foal at a time, however they can have twins and triplets. Multiple births in equines are quite rare and can cause problems with both the mare and the foals.
oxygen stops being supplied to the foal once the umbilical cord is disconnected from the mare, it is extremely important to make sure the foals nose and mouth are clear as soon as it is born.
Twins are rare, let alone more foals at once. But if your asking if a mare could give birth to 4 foals in her lifetime then yes a healthy one is very capable of doing that.

The mare gave birth to foals...the mares foaled.
The most general answer for the foals born to a mare or stallion are as follows. Dam: is the word for a mare or female horse producing foals. The foals she produces are called her "produce". Sire: is the word for a stallion or male horse who has bred mares. The foals produced by a stallion are call his "get". (The stallion "gets" the mares in foal so the foals produced by him are his "get".)
Horses produce foals, not Calves(That's cows.) A horse can have around one foal a year starting from the time it's a yearling..assuming it's a mare, and keep producing foals until the day she dies, but typically in domestic breeding situations a mare will produce foal from age 3/4 up until about 18-20 years. So in the wild a mare can have around 20 foals in a lifetime give or take a few and in domestication a horse usually produces around 18 foals from live cover. If however the mare is able to bred artificially then breeders can flush several eggs from one mare each time she's receptive and implant them into recipient mares which means the mare can produce many more foals than is normal.
You're right all mares can have foals. But not every owner whats their mare to have foals. Mares that have owners that what them to have foals are called broodmares. Mares that are not going to be used for breeding purposes are just called mares.
