You should be touching and handling it all the time, so it gets used to human interaction. However, you shouldn't start to ride it for at least a few years.

What should start within 10 minutes of horse birth?

After a foal is born, the amniotic sack should break if it hasn't already. The foal should begin breathing on its own and begin to try to rise. The cord will break on its own or when the mare rises. All this usually happens in the first few minutes after birth.


Will a stud hurt new foal?

In the wild, a stallion won't hurt a new foal if it is his own. However, if they steal a herd from another stallion, they might try to kill those foals simply because they are not his own. This is so that only the offspring of the strongest and best stallions live. Some human-kept studs will hurt a new foal, and should never be left unattended with a new foal. There are some stallions that can be left with the mare and foal. These are typically stallions that have been raised in a herd and pasture breed. Never leave a hand-breed stallion alone with a mare or foal.


How long till a foal stands up after birth?

My 5 week old foal just lost his mother What feeds should I use he doesn't like the bottle?

A 5 week old foal is old enough to consume grain and hay. Seeing he is so young, feed a high protein feed. Adding a bunch of extra molasses will get him eating well. A good quality hay is also a great idea. Remember with horses all dietary changes need to be done gradually to avoid a horse colicing.

NO! No foal should ever be used for adult horse type work. Let the foal grow up first, it can start training at 2 years old if you're in a hurry. But typically draft breeds require a longer period of time to mature fully.

How you treat a horse when it is a baby effect how it will act in the future?

Well, when a horse is a foal, everything that happens around it or to it will stay in its brain for the rest of their lives. If you play, touch, and start saddle/bridle braing a foal from when it's born to when you start baking it to ride, it will be less afraid of being touched, haltered, ect. It will also be easier to handle and will become more attached to you. On the other hand, if a foal is treated badly and in abused or left alone, it may never be able to be broken properly and may never become comfortable around humans.
