A woman 5 foot 8 should weigh between 140 and 160 lbs. That is a healthy weight that keeps you within your BMI About 130- 160 pounds traditionally.
Probably not!! Unless the government makes alot if laws against it!! :]]
When a wild horse is faced with danger it's automatic reflex is to flee. Horses are flight not fight animals. Although, if the horse has no chance of escaping it will fight using it's hooves, teeth and body weight. Hope this helps!
bachelor stallions, or a recipe for death! Sorry, that was a joke.
This can take some time. With the horse saddled and bridled up, also put a halter on it, tie a rope to the halter and to a weight, get on and then off and walk a few feet away. The horse will try to walk off but will have to drag the weight. Now if you want to be really careful you can tie a longer rope also that you can hold so the horse wont take off running if spooked by the weight. When you dismount always take the reins down or off over the horses head and drop them so they touch the ground. If the horse really drags the weight you need to find a heavier one. Let the horse wonder awhile and then mount up again. Do this several times and each time walk off a little further for a little longer and soon your horse will get the idea. As soon as your horse does not move the weight, you can lighten it a bit until you are only using the reins for a weight. Now this will take maybe days to teach. Be patient, your horse may have to drag the weight until it gets tired of it. This will work. *
wild horses are nervous and shy so you probably wouldn't be able to approach them!
From any horsey store or on the internet. Also you can buy them from the Breyer catalouge.
In the wild, they do, yes; it's an activity called grazing. Domestic horses confined to stables, barns or drylots with no grazing area don't have this opportunity. It is primarily seen as a social and behavioural activity for horses; for one, it keeps the horse from being bored, it is a social bonding experience and activity, and it some how keeps a horse from acquiring stereotypical behaviour disorders like that seen in horses that have been confined for a long time. It is natural for a horse to be grazing at least 8 to 12 hours a day. Horses that do not have this opportunity develop stereotypies such as wind-sucking, weaving, pacing and cribbing because they are denied their natural behaviour and activity of grazing with their herd mates all day.
you use pandoras box your welcome from jack159 add me on howrse thnx
White horses but can often be mislabeled, here is the run down.
Albino: This does not exist in equines, though some people will argue otherwise, albinism has never been documented in horses.
Grey: This is a color modifying gene that turns a horse 'white' with age, though this is not truly a white horse. A grey horses will have dark skin under it's coat.
Maximum white sabino: Technically yes this horse is white, usually has pink skin and might have blue eyes, but it's really a pinto with no visible color on it's coat.
White Spotting/ White Mutation/ 'Dominant white': Truly white horses caused by a genetic mutation, there are multiple forms of this mutation found in many breeds. Typically these horses have pink skin and brown eyes.
Double Dilution: This is caused by two copies the cream gene, it washes the coat color out to a very pale creamy white color and causes blue eyes. However the horses is not white.
The cheapest breed to keep would be a miniature horse. Typically a equine veterinarian and farrier will charge less for their care and they eat far less than a larger horse or pony. However Mini's should never be ridden, not even by very small children, They can pull a cart with a full grown man though. If you are looking for a riding horse that is on the cheaper side to keep, look for one that is known for being an easy keeper. They tend to do well on basic food stuffs and usually don't require any grain or supplemental feed beside hay and or grass.
Horses bend their legs when they jump to clear the bar. It would be quite hard for a horse to take-off with strait legs.
"To flog a dead horse" is the English equivalent to "to beat a dead horse", which means to do something over and over again when it is not necessary, whether it be saying something or doing something.
One story said that Topper was part Tennessee Walking Horse. But he could be an American Quarter Horse for all we can tell.
They use their molars to chew their food,but they can't chew if their teeth are pointy.If a horse has pointy teeth float their teeth.How to float them is you use power tools to grind the teeth down.
Do you mean on howrse.com? Well, you have to breed to unis at 6:23 GMT time. Then you have a 1/6 chance of having a uni foal! You can also buy them, but the average price for them on howrse is 24,000 equus.
The lowest hearing frequency of a horse is 55 hertz, whereas the highest would be 33,500.
The American Quarter horse can come in the following colors: Chestnut, Sorrel, Bay, Brown, Black, Palomino, Buckskin, Cremello, Perlino, Red dun, Dun, Grullo, Red roan, Bay Roan, Blue Roan, Grey. They can also rarely come in Strawberry Roan, and Silver Dapple. the AQHA repealed their 'White Rule' a while back and now Quarter horses can also have pinto type markings and even Appaloosa style markings. Both color genes for pinto and appy have been in the breed from the very beginning but were not registrable until very recently.
A forelock is a part of a horses mane that comes down the through the ears onto the face.
The Przewalski's Horse is the last of the true wild horses left in the world. Zebras are not really horses but cousins to the horse. The Mustangs of the American west are not really truly wild but are ferel meaning they at one time were domestic and escaped and reverted to the wild.
The amount of money made by a groom will depend on the stable they work at, their level of experience, other skills they may have, current pay wages, and several other factors, but typically an average everyday groom makes roughly minimum wage or just over. More experience brings higher pay.

A horse in the wild will act in much the same way a horse in domestic situations would. They graze for 10 to 20 hours depending on the quality of the forage, while grazing they will intermittently lay down and sleep, nap standing up, go to the water hole to drink, play with their herd mates, possibly breed with a stallion or mare, and always remain watchful of predators.
