Talk to her.
Ask her feelings on the matter.
This should be a thoughtful, bonding experience between you and your daughter.
The best way to deal with the pain of losing a pet is to get another. They keep you too busy to be sad.
BUT!
I don't recommend foals for children.
Only because she'll have to wait however long before she can actually ride him, and training from "scratch" can be more challenging than a child can handle or is even interested in.
Again, talk to her.
Find out if she wants to train up her own horse, or if she would like a more mature, (still young) partially trained horse.
I think the horse search should also be a "bonding" experience. There's lots to learn about, and doing it together could teach you both valuable lessons.

The horse was 40 yrs old? I have worked extensively with horses in my lifetime and have never known a horse to live that long. The average lifespan of a horse is 20-25 yrs with some occasionally getting up to 30 with excellent care.

Not right away. Let her grieve a while.
But once your daughter is feeling a bit better, a foal would be a wonderful surprise!

at the beginning i for my area like the beginning up of this essay. somebody has to speak up for the horses! one element I observed top off its the capitail letters, some human beings view that as shouting and judges might discover that inappropiate. in simple terms save an eye fixed on that! Use spell verify, and grammar tests! They continually help.

I don't know how old she is but remember when she goes off to college the horse will be without her.

How can anyone answer that for you, we don't know your child or your situation.
You must decide for yourself based on your circumstances.
