It can be OK provided the mini has a 3 sided shelter for protection from the weather. It will also need to have a area that small cleaned out at least once a day and will most likely need supplemental hay as it would likely graze any grass down to the ground and kill it off after a period of time.
it depends on the area you live in, where you keep the horse, and what you do with it.
yes but make sure it cant go through the wires and should be at least 1 acre i believe
A horse can have as big area for grazing just don't make it too small. I keep my horses in about 1-2 acres and my horse is healthy.
If you mean can you ride a horse if the horse doesn't have shoes, then anywhere- this is actually becoming increasingly common as people are learning of the harmful effects of shoes.if you mean can you ride a horse if you dont have shoes, well, let's say it is possible, but not advised as it is dangerous, and is prohibited in many areas. The horse could all-too easily accidentally step on your foot when you get off or on, and your foot could be shattered beyond repair. I would say the only place you'd be allowed to do this is your own house. I would think that most boarding places, show grounds and other public places would forbid it because of how dangerous it is.There is no place to ride a horse without shoes because it is prohibited. If a horse doesn't have shoes and it steps on a spike or etc. the horse will severely injur you. If you have no shoes you would not be on the horse in the first place.
Usually a horse will store fat in the upper neck, if this area is very bulgy and the rest of the body is bulgy, chances are the horse is overweight. But check with your vet to be sure. Overweight horses are prone to a foot problem called fonder. This can be a real hard condition to cure. Regular exersize and the correct feed and feed schedule can keep this from affecting your horse.
as long as it wants to be 'up'. You need to clarify your question . HOrses can live quite nicely with knocked knees. They learn how to get around.
Keep bugging him! he will eventually give up or be really nice to him =)
Use a slip knot or i prefer a tie ring. Also, give the horse a foot or two of slack and keep a close eye on him or her. NEVER leave a tied horse unattended.
This will depend on where the sore is, but in general try to limit movement for a while and if you can apply medicine to it to help it heal. Also try to keep fly spray on the horse to keep the flies out of any open or healing wound.
Assuming that the Diameter is 12 foot the radius would be 6 foot. So Area of a circle is found by Pi*r² So: 3.14 * 6² = 113.04ft² In conclusion: The area of a 12 foot circle would be 113.04ft² - To keep with significant figures the answer would be: 113ft²
No
No. Miniature horses are horses, and not dogs or cats. They require training like a regular horse, and need a job to do. They need to graze and socialise with other horses. The only difference between a miniature horse and a regular horse is that you can't ride them and they require less food. They are just as expensive to keep as a regular horse in every other respect.
