Before a horse gives complete birth, she (the mare) will start to have very strong contractions, strong enough contractions to break a man's arm. Then they give birth.
Horses nurse for the first six months after their birth.
Horses normally only give birth to one foal at a time. It is actually pretty rare for a mare to have twins.
Do horses give birth to live young? YES!
No. All horses are herd animals and they do much better when they are with other horses. The only time to separate a pregnant mare would be if the other horses are are picking on her and she has received injuries or at the time right before foaling when its helpful to have her in a large stall or her own paddock. After birth, if mom and baby are doing well they can both go back in with the other horses within a day or two.
there is not a "Purpose" for the white line in a horses hoof, it is much like a birth mark on us
Not at all! Horses are mammals before, during and after birth.
before birth the zygote develops first into an embryo and the into a fetus
Yes, horses give live birth.
BAD
Horses don't usually have waxy teats. Some horses get waxy teats right before giving birth, but not all.
No, horses are mammals and have a live birth
You get your money back for the horse or horses that are scratched from the race. if you only bet 3 horses in your trifecta, then you get the entire amount back.
Horses will tend to lie down, and will refuse to get up. If this happens, immediatly call a vet. Before giving a horse something your not sure your horse can have, please contact your local Vet.
Horses give birth to live young
It is the development and growth that happens after the animal/human is born. (prenatal is before birth, postnatal is after birth)
Congenital happens before birth, acquired after.
