Life Cycle of Horse
- Mares and their foals should spend most of their time on
pasture with other mothers and babies. The foals can
exercise, building bone and muscle. Weaning occurs between
ages of 4-6 months
- Most equines spend their first 2 years
growing and learning the basics, such as
tying and standing for grooming and bathing.
- Most breeds are fully
mature by the age of 5. By
the time your horse turns
20, he's senior citizen.
- After an 11 gestation, a mare
gives birth to a foal. The
newborn stands and nurses
within a couple of hours after birth.
