Horses are highly social herd animals that form deep maternal bonds with their foals, nursing them for six to twelve months while teaching essential survival behaviors. The quiet attentiveness between a mare and her young is a hallmark of equine family structure, reflecting millions of years of evolution in open grasslands where close proximity meant safety and belonging.
