Foals are able to stand and walk within just a few hours after being born. Their long legs grow rapidly during early months, helping them keep pace with adult horses in open spaces.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

How long does a foal stay close to its mother?
Young horses rely on their mother milk for several months before gradually eating grass and hay. They usually stay near their mother until weaning at around six months of age.
Why are paddocks fenced with wood?
Smooth wooden rails provide a safe boundary that horses can easily see. Unlike wire fences, timber posts are less likely to cause injuries if an energetic foal bumps against them.
