I think that is normal since foals are born as yearlings. A mare bred at 4 has a yearling, at 5 her foal is 2, at 6 her foal is 3, etc.

Foals skip being foals - they go straight to being yearlings. So really the younger horse is 13. So a 4YO mare will have a yearling filly.

In this game, foals appear as yearlings and turn 2, not 1, at rollover to the next game year.

In HaJ 1, with its 2 month-long years, foals are foals for the first month and become yearlings in the 2nd month (or are born yearlings if it's the 2nd month when they come into being). They all become 2 year olds at the first game year roll-over after they are born.

So, horses whose parents were 3 (stallions) or 4 (mares) when they came into being will always seem a year too old for the age of their parents, once they turn 2.

Foals are born as 1 year olds. So when you breed a mare at 4, she is three years older than her foal.

Nah, everyone has "duh" moments. You are not alone! :D

Sometimes it takes several ways of saying the same thing for that aha! moment to show up when the explanation your brain "gets" is posted. There's nothing wrong with that.
