I had an internship at a horse rescue for 6 months. Some of the horses and ponies that we adopted out were strictly for companionship as they were too old to ride or had never been trained to be ridden or the person just wanted a companion.
They can provide a lot of exercise. If you know how to ride that is good exercise. If not then "ground work" can also be good. For example taking your horse on a lead rope and walking around your field with it or something.
Horses are very loving. If your looking for companionship and can take care of a horse I say go for it.
Sure they can, infact horse riding is a sport in which your core muscles are needed the most.
Of Course! i love my horse, she is a very good companion and training horses is very good exercise. riding is fun, but really you're just sitting so that isn't much exercise. ;)
Usually horses don't show people exercise, people exercise their horse. But they can make great companions for their people. Nothing is better than just 'hanging' with your horse. They smell so good and they are just great to be with. One of my favorite times is being in the barn on a rainy day just grooming and chatting with my horses. (I always talk to my horses) And if you are kind to them and of course feed them they will always be glad to see you.
It depends on what the excercise was. If you have a racehorse and they have had haevy excercise then you must give them supplements, high corn feed, mash/chopped lucerne and hay and natural vitamins for them to recover as well as enough rest and time to recuperate.
The number of horses an owner usually owns varies widely based on individual preferences and needs. Some horse owners may have only one horse for companionship or recreational riding, while others may have multiple horses for breeding, showing, or competitive riding. Ultimately, the number of horses owned depends on the owner's resources, experience, and goals.
Usually the horse's owner or the owner will hire a helping hand
there are many functions of a horse they might be how the horse canters etc or how it thinks there are soo many
It depends on the person who is the owner of the horse. Ask him/her. Each owner has different requirements for one to lease their horse.
In the US "part board" usually refers to the owner sharing responsibility for the upkeep of the horse. Most frequently this means the horse owner, not the boarding stable, is responsible for some of the chores and/or feed or bedding for the animal. It's common for part board to mean the owner comes each day to feed and muck out a stall, and provide feed.Full board means that the boarding stable does everything for the upkeep of the horse. The owner is free to ride and enjoy his/her horse without the responsibility of its care.it means that 2 or more people rent the same horse and have less responsibility.
Yes, the winning horse generally gets 60% of the purse so the owner of a winning horse in 100,000 dollar race would receive 60,000 dollars. The owner then distributes funds to the trainer, the jockey and and grooms or exercise riders involved per a contractural agreement. Trainers and jockeys generally get at least 10% each and grooms and exercise riders get a generous "tip".
Cats may sit on their owner's lap while they are on the toilet because they feel safe and secure in their owner's presence, seeking comfort and companionship.
No.
