if you are having trouble with your horse cutting her ankles accidentaly, why dont you try wraping her legs when she eats, and make sure there aren't any sharp edges on the feed buckets... hope this helped
If a horse dropped in the hocks it means that the horse dropped on its ankles. The hocks of a horse is the horses ankles.

One sure way for ringworm to be transferred is from a horse rolling on the ground. The next horse will roll in the same place. Horses transfer disease in water buckets, food buckets, gates, tack.
where they cut a horse before they shoot
Horses are kept in their usual location with heated buckets/troughs (and a winter blanket depending on how cold it gets/ how thick your horse's fur coat is/ how large your horse is). ~Deb~
This would be a cutting horse which is usually an American Quarter Horse.
I don't think very long at all... I wouldn't try it. They're not meant for buckets.
Horses should always have water in their buckets at all times. As for food, well, that depends on the horse's size, diets, workload, and many other things.
It really depends on the individual horse. For an ideal driving horse he is best to have a mellow and relaxed attitude, one that won't spook easily. Many times cutting horses tend to have a slight 'edge'. They need the extra energy and ambition to chase cows. If your cutting horse runs a little hot, he may not be ideal for driving.
The bit on the bridle makes it so when the horse tries to graze, it chokes. Also, the horse can step on the reins and trip. Also, if you leave a bit on a horse unsupervised the horse can severely injure itself....including cutting it's tongue off and/or cutting it's mouth open. You should NEVER tie a horse with a bit in it's mouth or leave a horse unattended with a bit in.
I think you're referring to the sport of cutting with horses. Cutting is a Western event that originated on the ranches. A horse and rider are put into a pen with approximately ten cows. They must then separate certain cows ("cut" them from the herd) and keep them away from the herd for a length of time. Top horses in the cutting world are able to do almost all of this on their own; the rider simply lets them know what cow to go after and the horse will do the rest. The horses will also anticipate the movements of the cow; a horse who can do that is said to be "cowy" or "have cowsense." That's my answer! Blue
