The weight of an Arabian foal at birth can vary depending on factors such as its gender, how much time has passed since its mother was bred, and the breed’s genetics.
In general, the birth weight of an Arabian foal usually ranges from 70-200 lbs, though the average weight at birth is closer to 100 lbs. It takes around nine months for a foal to reach its full height and another year or so for it to mature in physical appearance.
Arabian foals have a slower growth rate than the average horse. They have a more refined bone structure and proportionally smaller muscle mass that can often lead to a more delicate frame. In addition, they can take up to 2 years longer before they are fully mature, weight bearing and ready for breeding.
