How many ribs would a half quarter half Arabian horse have?
The breed has 17 ribs, five lumbar bones and sixteen tail vertebrae. All other breeds have 18 ribs, six lumbar bones and eighteen tail vertebrae. Answer2: Arabians display a higher rate of having less ribs and vertebrae, but generally this is because two vertebrae bones tend to be fused together making it look like one bone instead of two. All other breeds of horse have the ability to be born with one less rib or vertebrae also, which means this trait is not unique to the Arabian breed.
