Foals stay with their mother through their first year as they wean and begin eating grass, they then are able to be on their own and in domisticated horses the mother will eventually lose intrest and dedication to their foal and they mearly become a member of the herd, or another horse. In wild horses the foals will stay with their mother until they are chased off by the stallion, young colts will normally find an adolecent group to run with and fillies will become part of their mothers herd or find a new stallion.

Horses typically care for their offspring for about six months to a year, during which time the mother teaches the foal social behaviors, grooming habits, and how to graze. After this period, the foal becomes more independent but may still stay close to the mother for protection and learning.
