I need to know about the development process of a horse's eggs. Basically how the eggs inside the horse's body change and become embryos and develop further until it becomes a foal.

It's pretty much the same as with any other mammal. A sperm gets through all the obstacles and beats out all the other sperm to become embedded in the egg. The DNA from the sperm and egg combine with the potential to become a unique individual foal. The egg cells begins to divide and after several divisions, the cells being to differentiate into specific parts of the foal's body. The zygote implants itself into the uterine wall of the mare and begins to get nutrients from the mother. The differentiated cells continue to grow and form all of the body parts until about 11 months after the meeting of the sperm and egg, a foal is born.
