Do Horses Have Belly Buttons? Angel brought a great question to her lesson last week- one that I did not have the answer to.  After a little research, here is what I found. Horses are eutherians, or placental mammals. The foal develops for 11 months inside the mare and is supported by an umbilical cord attached to a placenta during this time. After the mare has foaled, the umbilical cord will break naturally as the foal gets to its feet, and a few weeks later, the tiny stub left on the foal's belly drops off. The horse's navel or belly button is not very noticeable, because of the horse's four-legged stance and the way that hair grows over it. But if your horse is quiet, you can look on its underside towards its rear and you will probably find it. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_horses_have_belly_buttons	A horse's belly button is located in the same place that a human's belly button is located.  However, they are hard to find because of their hair.
