Asked by Wiki User

It is highly unlikely that a woman would get sick from swallowing a horse's sperm, as it would likely be broken down by stomach acids. However, it is important to note that consuming bodily fluids can expose an individual to potential health risks, such as infections or diseases.

Asked by Wiki User

Foal season is the time of year when horses give birth to their young, known as foals. This typically occurs in the spring or early summer when the weather is warmer and there is an abundance of fresh grazing available for the mare and foal. Horse owners and breeders often plan for foaling season to ensure the safe delivery and care of the new foals.

What if you cross breed horse to donkey be called?

User Avatar

Asked by Xaivtublis

The cross between a male donkey and a female horse is called a mule. Mules are generally infertile animals, and may only be produced by interbreeding between horses and donkeys. Interbreeding between a female donkey and a male horse is more rare, but produces a hinny. A hinny tends to be somewhat smaller than a mule, and is likewise infertile.

What is a horse with one testicle called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several terms. The medical term would be cryptorchid, although this implies that the testicle was left accidentally and a competent vet should have found both testicles and removed them. If the testicle was deliberately left during castration (which is a potential breach of veterinary medical ethics if the horse is sold as a gelding but is actually still a stallion) then the stallion would be called 'proud cut' or a 'ringling'. This was somewhat common in circus horses, where one testicle was removed to improve the horse's temperment and make him easier to control but the other was left so that the horse would look like a stallion (develop the thicker neck, heavy muscling, etc.).
