Horses usually only have one baby at a time, with twins a possibility. Baby horses are able to focus their eyes almost as soon as they are born and usually cut their first teeth within a week.When baby horses are born they have legs that are almost as long as when they are fully grown, which can make it difficult to reach down to feed on grass. When the newborn horse is a little older, vaccinate the baby to make sure that it will grow healthy and won't have any worms or external diseases.To make sure that there won't be any worms, try to bathe your newborn horse every 3 days.Have clean water available at all times. Try to keep your newborn horse and it's mother in a barn.Baby horses are fully grown anytime between 3 and 6 years of age. Contrary to popular belief, a pony is not a baby horse but a horse that grows to less than 14.2 hands in height. A hand is 4 inches in length.
