Horses don't have hamstring ligaments. They have many other ligaments and tendons from the knee down in the front leg, and from the hock down in the hind leg.
The amount of rest depends on the extent of the injury and what other treatments the horse is receiving for the injury. An ultrasound and an examination from your vet will give you the ultimate answer.
Trying to guess on a tendon or ligament injury in a horse and trying to treat it with no diagnosis from the vet is a very dicey proposition, and often results in a horse that will never be serviceably sound again. In other words, a very expensive, eating and pooping lawn ornament.
Forever.
as long as you love horses, it shouldn't matter. but be in mind that you should be finacally prepared to take care of the horse and you should have enought time to put in with the horse. You should know about the horse's needs
you should use a curry comb on a horse for up to 6 minutes.
It depends on how big the horse/pony is but, really if it's your horse,you should know!!
It depends on what is causing the lameness. It could be a day or two from a stone bruise to a life-long problem like a suspensory ligament injury.
The hamstring muscle group will adapt in a few ways with long term aerobic endurance training. One adaptation is that they will become flexible.

Any breed can be a good first horse so long as the rider and horse get along and match each others skills.
IDK... you should probably travel 200 km by horse yourself and then see how long it takes you
Depending on the injury. If its a bad sprain or and break, then keep the ice on it for a while. For minor injuries, there is no need to keep it on there too long
