a horse has 18 pairs of ribs where as an arab has 17 pairs
For most breeds, eighteen pairs for a total of 36 (counting both true and false ribs.) Arabians are unique in that they have only seventeen pairs.
It might range from 13 to14 but if you look at the skeleton on Google images that can give you an accurate count

No ribs that you eat here in the USA are not horse ribs,but i hate to say in other countries they may be.Many people different parts of the world eat horse. They also eat dog, cat, hampster and many other animals. The ribs you eat in the US are cow ribs.
The Arab has 17 ribs.
It depends on the animal. The thoracic vertebrae are those of the "chest" and attach to the ribs. In the dog and cow for instance, there are 12 (same number as the ribs) but there are 18 in the horse (also the same number as the ribs).

Between the ribs and the hip.
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.
