Some are weaned at 4 months, most at 6, and some not until a year. In the wild, a foal will nurse for about a year, and if it is a filly, possibly longer. Foals weaned early are proven to be more likely to develop vices (biting, kicking, rearing, etc.) I think the best thing to do would be let the mare decide when to wean the foal. The mare knows when the foal should be weaned much, much better than we do. The only time i would advise early weaning is if the mare is rapidly losing weight. Most nurse for 6-8 months, and then you should start weaning them off milk and onto grass, hay, etc.

The mustang horse is no different than any other horse if you're discussing vertebrae or invertebrae. All horses are vertebrae but how many bones are in the spine depends on the breed. An animal is a vertebrate if they have a backbone/spine. So usually, any creature that has a skeleton is a vertebrate. Invertebrates don't have a backbone and usually have what is known as an extoskeleton (outer skeleton), such as insects or crabs. Therefore, the mustang is a horse and horses have spines = vertebrate.

A worn out horse is a hack or a jade Nag is another word used

well, any horse under 4 years is a foal, but it also works like this, any female horse under 4 years is a filly any male horse under 4 years is a colt, after 4 years a male horse will be called a stallion, if he is gelded, he will then be a gelding, so any female horse over 4 years is a Mare. `A baby horse is considered a foal. From about 3-4 years of age they can be considered Colts (for males) or Filly's (for females). When they are "weaned" (stop feeding from the mother) , they can also be called "Weanling's" ( that is normally from about 6-8 months of age). When they are one year old, they are called "Yearlings". There are many more names when they exceed one year of age.`

if male-colt. if female-philly (filly) if castrated - gelding. if male-colt. if female-philly (filly).

They are often called "hot"

Farmers got mad at them for eating their crops and considered them a nuisance so they killed them all.

No, they are equine.

Just like many other animals, horses have a certain genetic makeup that their body follows. This genetic makeup says, "Hey body, you need to grow to these specifications. This is how big your muscles should be, this is how long your neck and legs should be, ect." Also, horses are large, heavy animals, and even walking requires a good amount of strength. This is almost like weight training for us. Also, plants DO contain small amounts of protein, and with the volume of food that they consume, they consume enough to build the musculature that they possess.

The single most expensive breed of horse would most likely be the Thoroughbred. The world's top racehorses are worth multiple millions of dollars. After their racing career is over they are retired to stud and earn many more millions for the people that own them. After the Thoroughbred would probably be the eventers, dressage and show jumpers. These horses, when at the top of their game, can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Stallions can have favorite mares and sometimes choose mares for their harems that are specific colors. Stallions with a favorite mare behave very differently toward her than his other mares and they continue their interaction (mutual grooming and remaining close) throughout the year. It may not be love but it is an enduring attraction/affection.

a mare is a female horse that is older than the age of 3. a filly is also a female horse, but is under the age of 3.

Horses and donkeys are both members of the Equus family, however they are different species. They can mate with each other and reproduce, but since they have a different number of chromosomes their offspring (known as mules or hinnies) are infertile.

they are designed for speed and have larger muscles than us.

If your horse starts quidding, you must get a vet to come and check it out..the horse may have a painful throat/mouth/teeth.

In the wild, feral horses will feel safer staying out in the open when it's windy, and will stand together with their rears into the wind. They are warm-blooded animals, so their internal body heat plus standing with their butts to the wind helps them keep warm in addition to standing together in a loosely bunched group. They won't find rocky outcrops or treed areas because of the immediate danger of predators that could pounce on them from above or sneak up from them from the shelter of the trees. Horses feel more nervous on windy days than calm days because of this perceived threat, and especially when they can't hear as well due to the howling wind. Horses that are domesticated may seem luckier since they have access to a shed or barn to keep them sheltered from the wind, but that's just human thinking, not horse thinking. Horse thinking, no matter if they're feral or cared for by people, is to stay out in the open in the wind no matter if there's a shed standing there waiting for them to give them shelter. When given a choice, horses often will choose to stand outside in the open and wait the wind out than head to the shed or barn. Not even a blanket would comfort them or keep them warm, just standing out in the wind as Nature intended them to do is good enough for a beloved prey animal as the horse. The only time a horse owner should worry about horses getting cold is when there is a cold rain associated with the wind. That is when the owner may want to keep them in the shed. But even then. horses out on a cold, windy day will still choose to be outside and tough it out like their feral brothers/sisters and ancestors have for millions of years.

Colt if a male filly if female or foal for male or female

Wild horses are present on the public lands of the west as a result of the release or escape of domestic horses while the west was being settled. Therefore, their history is as varied as the history of these settlers. Most wild horses average 14-14.2 hands (a hand is four inches) at the withers, which is on the small size for a horse. Some Herd Management Areas support herds that can reach 16 hands or more and resemble draft or thoroughbreds when fully grown. Nature chooses for smaller animals, as their nutritional needs are less, and smaller horses do better on the range during hard times. Through proper management the Bureau of Land Management keeps herds at an Appropriate Management Level, removing the extra horses and either making them available for public adoption or sending them to long term holding pastures in the Midwest in order to prevent overuse of the sensitive western rangelands. By maintaining the health of the range, the wild horses have the best chance of reaching their genetic potential and being successful on the range. Once adopted by the public, a wild horse is fed better forage than would have been available on the range and will likely grow larger than it would in the wild. Wild horses may also take a few more years to finish growing and "filling" out, reaching their maximum size and body weight by 4-5 years of age.

I had no idea a horse could get an ingrown hair on his butt. But after checking I think it's called a 'dude'. Go figure.

Horses can be both big and small, so it's an impossible question to answer.

the dad is called a sire and the mother is called a dam
