Life cycle:


Horses start as a foal (male) or a filly (female). During the first 12 months the foal/filly has long legs compared to its body. Two months later it will stop drinking from its dam (mother).



Did you know?


The foal or filly is born with no teeth. as it gets older,the horse grows teeth.


After this it goes onto the middle years. These are when it is 5-10 years old. By then the horse is fully formed. After this stage it is into the late years when the joints become puffy as the circulation might become less effertive.
