Sometimes foals will start eating their own or their mother's dung in an attempt to get the nutrients that they are lacking. Eating dung is not dangerous for the horse, but doing so is a sign that the horse may be malnourished. A vet should be consulted on the proper diet and supplements for the horse and what his proper weight should be.

Not if your inexperienced with handling and training horses. If you were an experienced horse-person or have done your research on what it takes to tame a wild horse you wouldn't need to ask this question. If you're a newbie and want a horse, get a horse that has seen it all and done it all that you can do anything with without being scared of getting hurt or worse.


What happens to cows when you are done with them?

It depends on what you mean by "when you are done with them." For many people, the only thing a cow is worth is their meat and/or milk. When we are "done" with these products, they get excreted as feces or urine. For producers themselves, when a producer is "done with them," they cull them from the herd and sell them to slaughter.
