If a horse is 5 years old and has never been dewormed, the first thing you should do is have a veterinarian look over it to determine the exact type of deworming medication you should use. Commercial dewormers may not work very well if not dosed appropriately, which is why a professional prescription is best the first time.
If your horse is 5 years old and has never been dewormed, your best bet is to have a veterinarian prescribe an appropriate medication for its size and weight, as a commercial dewormer may not do the job appropriately the first time.
Any horse may need wormed every 6 to 8 weeks. Depending on where you are housing your pony, what your pony is eating, and his exposure to parasites. Talk to your local vet for the best advice for you, and your pony. A tip: Use different kinds of dewormers, of various strengths, to keep your pony from building a tolerance to it.
The very first horse was the hyracotherium(eohippus)which lived about 55 million years ago.
seven years
The lifespan of a Morgan horse is 25 to 30 years. The Morgan horse was one of the first breeds of horses to be developed in the US.
A horse should never be ridden before the age of two years. However it is best to wait until the horse is four or five years old before riding them as this gives them time to fully mature and develop.
Like how many years ago is what I meat
The first horse showed up on the sixth day of the creation week. The above answer is a biblical answer. If you are looking for a scientific answer then the horse has existed in one form or another for roughly 65 million years. However the first single toed horse appeared 4 million years ago when Equus had fully evolved from the its primative multi-toed ancestors.
The earliest ancestor of the horse (that means the first horse) evolved over 50,000,000 years ago. Eohippus was the first breed of horse to evolve and it's fossils have first clearly appeared in the Eocene and have been found in both North America and Asia.
15000 years ago correct me if I'm wrong
I don't think so....... I have never heard of it. no the present horse is refering to the horse in this present day horses have developed over the years so they were differnt a long time ago
There are no horse years. You do not use horse years like you do dog years. A year is a year for the horse in years. So 3 years and 4 months would be just that. 3 years and 4 months.
A male horse under four years old is a Colt. A male horse over four years old is a Stallion. A male horse that is castrated is a Gelding no matter how old it is. A female horse under four years old is a Filly. A female horse over four years is a Mare.
