1. Why do horses give birth in general?
This is a biological question about the reproductive process. The answer lies in the very nature of life. Horses, like all mammals, reproduce sexually. This involves:
* Fertilization: A sperm from a male horse fertilizes an egg from a female horse.
* Gestation: The fertilized egg develops into a foal inside the mother's womb for about 11 months.
* Birth: The foal is born through the mother's birth canal.
The purpose of this process is to create offspring, ensuring the survival of the species.
2. Why did *this* particular horse give birth?
This is a specific question about a specific horse. In this case, the answer is that the horse was pregnant and reached the end of its gestation period. There could be many reasons why this specific horse was pregnant:
* Natural breeding: The horse was mated with a stallion.
* Artificial insemination: The horse was inseminated with sperm from a stallion.
