Arabian Horses

Arabian horses can eat anything other breeds eat ( Green Chaff, White Chaff, Hay) But you usaully you should keep Arabian horses off "Hot" foods. Hot foods are foods that when horses eat them they can get hyper and Arabians are quite a "Hot" breed.

Many Arabian horses are also known to be sensitive and may be prone to Colic if given certain kinds of hay and/or feed. While every horse is different, if your Arab tends to colic when given certain items, try to keep them away from those items to keep them healthier.

Arab or not, baby horses cost quite a bit of money. You have to feed and water it every day which would be a couple hundred dollars per month. You have to have its feet trimmed fairly often because they grow quickly, as well as vet bills for any sicknesses plus general vaccinations, worming, checkups, etc. Plus, if your horse is a colt, you will eventually have to pay for the vet to come and geld him, unless you have stallion expertise and plan to keep him intact for breeding.

Factor in the costs of boarding him at a stable, fitting equipment, rugs, and anything extra that you would want for him, you're looking at something between 5 thousand and ten thousand per year. That's an estimate on the high side, but not that far off.

Where a horse eats its food all depends on how it is kept. A grass kept horse can sometimes get all of its nutrients from the grass it eats and other plants and shrubs. Many horses nowadays are given buckets of feed straight in the field, and also fed salt licks or supplement tubs in the field.

Stable kept horses are fed in their stables most of the time, and are given a bucket of feed or food in their trough. They are also given salt licks and fresh water, as well as hay or haylage.

In the wild, horses rely on streams and rivers for water, and get their much needed nutrients from grasses and plants found naturally in their habitat.

Because the Arabian horse is just a breed of horse and all horses are heterotroph, the Arabian horse is therefore a heterotroph.

Please see the related questions section on an explanation of heterotroph and autotroph as it relates to horses.

Arabian horses, especially mares were known for, even famous for, their courage and devotion to their people as far back as biblical times. Stallions were considered to be too unpredictable to be good mounts however.

The record for the Horse high jump stands at 8 ft 1¼ in (2.47 m), and was achieved by Captain Morales riding Huaso, in Chile on 5 February 1949.

In horse racing terms, The Chair is the biggest fence in the Grand National. It is a 6 foot fence with a 5 foot 2 inch ditch.

Of course, it all depends on the horse.

not extra in some cases they may have less, but this is not always true. Arabians usually are more compact in the back area and therefore can carry more weight for longer distances than a similar size hores of another breed.

Yes. Sea-horses are real. There is actually a site with quite a bit of information on them. I will attach it so you may learn more about them if you wish.

Most of them do, but it really depends on the horse.

One may eat them until there is no more, while another could shun it completely. They also like carrots and, if used very moderately, peppermints. But you should check with your vet before ever feeding a horse anything strange like people food.

Just to improve this answer a little, you can give your horse a apple now and again but it not recommended to give him/her more the 2 a day. Apples as you know contain acid, this could cause problems for the horse in his/her's stomach so its recommended you keep a close eye on how many you or someone else is feeding apples to your a horse.

They normally stand about 14.1 - 15.1 hands high.

Well the original old type of Arabian had a kind of 'ewe' neck where the bottom was longer and/or stuck out farther than what was considered acceptable by breeders. The horses also tended to carry their heads and necks very upright and sometimes held back towards their withers. Modern Arabians now have a more graceful neck where it is highly arched and carried either forward, level or straight depending on the horse.

There is no set cost for a horse of a specific age or breed. Many things go into figuring the price of a horse, these include but are not limited to; Breed, age, sex, pedigree, level of training, show record, height, color, location and local economy.

The Arabian horse of course has all the same adaptions that other breeds and types of horses do, but they also developed the ability to go long periods without water or food, and to survive off of sparse food. They adapted a light springy gait for moving over the deep sands of the Middle East. they have large nostrils for pulling more air into their lungs as they run which aids in their endurance. They also adapted a smaller more compact body which helped them to survive.

Arabian horses originate possibly in Egypt. They are one of the oldest breeds of horses. They were bred by Bedouins, groups of Arabs that often raided to make a living. The Bedouins bred the horses to be quick and hardy specifically for the purpose of making a quick get away after a raid. They are very tough horses and tend to be rather short, around 14-15.4 hands high. The most common coat colors for the breed are gray, chestnut and bay. On rare occasions, they are mouse gray, black, flaxen liver chestnut, and roan. Today, Arabians are commonly found performing many disciplines. These include Western Pleasure, Saddle seat, endurance, dressage, cross country, and many more.

It depends. Any breed can be a barrel horse, its just whether the horse loves to run and has the desire to do it. If it doesn't have the desire, it will be a pain trying to force it to run.

They can for a starter horse, but to get to the upper levels, you would need a horse more like a quarter horse, with good hindquarters, built for sprinting and turning on a dime. And the desire to barrel race is important too.you won't do well on a horse who doesn't like his job because he will protest all the way.

Scientifically speaking, the Arabian horse belongs to the class Mammalia.

As far as the breed is concerned though, they are often classified as "hot-blooded" creatures, meaning they are spirited and quick learning.

The only animal that hunts and eats the Arabian oryx are wolves. The Arabian oryx is a type of antelope that was almost extinct at one time. The wild ones were completely wiped out, and the population was built back up in zoos and on sanctuaries.

Yes, there specialty is Endurance Racing

I do not know a precise number, but this is the best i could get, I hope it helps. According to "Saudi Business" Some 237,000 horses are registered in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and some 100,000 owners listed.

the average weight of a Arabian is just under 1000 pounds, standing about 14.3 hands on average.

Arabians measure from 14.2 to 15 hands so they would range around 800 to lower 1000's. (From my mind)

The breed has 17 ribs, five lumbar bones and sixteen tail vertebrae. All other breeds have 18 ribs, six lumbar bones and eighteen tail vertebrae.

Answer2:

Arabians display a higher rate of having less ribs and vertebrae, but generally this is because two vertebrae bones tend to be fused together making it look like one bone instead of two. All other breeds of horse have the ability to be born with one less rib or vertebrae also, which means this trait is not unique to the Arabian breed.

The distance a horse can maintain a gallop depends on their build and physical fitness. A well conditioned horse can easily maintain a gallop for a mile to a mile and a half. At two to two and a half miles most horses will feel fatigued.
