The signs would include it being brown, crumbly, dusty, moldy, smells bad, or has debris in it. Horse quality hay will be green or yellowish depending on how it was stored, smell fresh, have low amounts or no dust, and not have anything in it other than the hay itself.

Colic. Colic is just a general term for abdominal discomfort in horses-human babies also colic. You may see your horse bobbing his head up and down or kick, roll and crib if it is colic, which is his way of showing you he's in pain or his stomach is upset. Or he might just act abnormally still with his ears back and his head down low, as if he were depressed. Horses' stomachs are more sensitive than most people think. Changes in diet, stress, and dehydration contribute to colic as well.
If the hay is bad because it has been damped by rain water, the moist may lead to fungal growth. Better watch that! You don't want your horse eating fungi.

How many horses could you have on 72 acres of land?
It all depends on the quality of the grazing. Normally you allow one acre of land per horse but on poor quality grazing I would say one horse per two acres. Poor grazing is better than good grazing for ponies, donkeys and mules. You might be able to get 75 or 80 horses on 72 acres but if the grazing were poor, a more realistic figure would be 40.

No. The ox is a stable sign while the horse is the complete opposite. Communication is poor between these 2 signs. The reason why this is a bad match is because the horse cannot stay or work in one place for too long otherwise they lose interest where as the ox is a sign of stability and will see the horse as disorganized and unreliable.
