The term foal is used to name the horse from birth until it is 4 and a half years old , when it changes its baby teeth. A foal, therefore, is a young equine .
The gestation of horses lasts about eleven months. Typically, the mare gives birth to a single foal: a curiosity is that, at birth, the foal's legs already reach 90% of the length they will have when the animal is an adult.
Just one hour after birth, the foal can already stand up. And two hours later, he is ready to run. The final color of its coat , meanwhile, is acquired when it is about two years old.

“Potro” , finally, can be a nickname given to someone who has great strength or moves at high speed, like a horse. Or the one who stands out for his beauty. The Argentine singer Rodrigo Bueno , for example, was known as “El potro” .
