Early to Mid Spring.
This is not the best idea, but if a mare abandons her foal, yes, you can hand raise it. You will have to bottle feed and spend most of your time with it. This is very time consuming and hard work but it is rewarding in the end. If you hand raise a foal it will come very attached to you which may cause stubborness as the foal ages.
There is a message which lets you know your mare is foaling - make sure you have enough money for the vet, because if you cannot get the vet there in time, the foal will die.
The best time to breed ANY horse breed is in the summer. When daylight is in its prime, so is the mare's heat. This is how it was planned in the wild. When bred in the early summer, foals were born in late spring, when grass was at its best, the temperatures were warm, and the foal had a long time until the cold winter.
Palomino is a color, not a breed. A horses color doesn't really affect the way a foal is born. This menas that a palomino colored foal is born in the same way that a foal of any other color would be.
yes as any mother and foal would!

A foal born female is called a filly, from the French "fille" meaning "girl".
A newly born horse is called a foal in general speaking. Specifically, a female foal is called a filly and a male foal is called a colt. When they turn 1 yearold, they are called yearlings.
Yes...people do it all the time with no adverse effects to the mare or foal.
A mare will lactate as long as her foal is nursing. Most foals are weaned at 4-6 months. Some sooner, some later. In the wild it is not uncommon for a mare to nurse her foal until nearly the time her next foal is born, however long that is. It is also not completely unheard of to see a mare nursing a foal that is a few years old.
When a foal is born it is covered with a light coat of hair, usually very fine, but depending on the breed the color can be in a large range.
The foal will probably be born a bay, and turn darker over time. Well, my aunt bred a brown welsh and a black welsh, and she got an almost black foal that got lighter over time. But either way, It will be bay or dark bay. :D
