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.

Bred a sorrel and white mare to a black and white stud?
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.

No. Thoroughbred racing prohibits the use of artificial insemination. Because of this, the only way a horse can produce foals for racing is by live cover. Since Barbaro was injured, he could not safely mount a mare, and therefore did not sire any foals.

Do people gain weight back after they lose it from ulcerative colitis?
I have that condition but I never actually lost weight. I did gain weight from a steroid my doctors put me on, which I eventually lost most of. But most any time someone loses any significant amount of weight over a short period of time your body is likely to gain it back along with a few additional pounds.
