Are a male horse and female horse different?

Yes there are anatomical differences between stallions and mares. But you need to get fairly up close to see them. They do have different genitals, and females do have teats. Fairly small though.

Also behavioral differences. Stallions can be very hard to handle, especially around mares. With proper training and a firm hand stallions can be handled relatively normally. When mares are cycling they can be very onerous and behave badly. however some mares are barely affected by cycling.

Does a cat like horses?

Does the female palomino horse take care of their young?

All horses take care of their young unless they are sick, hurt, or forced to leave it behind. If you have a female Palomino horse who is not taking care of its baby, contact a vet immediately. The baby has to be fed every four hours and if it hasn't gotten its mother's milk before the first hour, it is very likely the horse will die. The milk given from the mother in its first milk is rich with nutrients that are vital in helping the foal's immune system build properly. Have a vet come and check both the baby, and the mother so if there is the possibilty that the foal can be raised by the mother, you can farther explore that. I hope my answer was what you were wanting.

How long do horses stay in their herd?

When foals (baby horses) are born the colts (boys) usually are kicked out by the time they are about 2-3 years, or when the lead stallion begins ot feel threatened by this young colt. Often if colts are kicked out when they are mature, they will take as many mares as they cna steal away. Mares (female grown horses) however will stay with their herd for their whole lives (horses in the wild usually die at about 20-25 years but can live much much longer than that) unless they are stolen by another stallion (grown male horse)

Are sunflower seed shells bad for a horses digestive system?

Answer from a horse owner for 30 years: The oils from the sunflower seeds are good for horses but when you feed horses the whole shell and the seed it can cause the horse to have compactions from the shells. This will cause the horse to colic and possibly die. The shells can also cause small cuts and tears in the stomach and intestinal walls. Instead feed the horses sunflower seeds with out the shells, or give them a couple table spoons of sunflower oil in their grain. Like anything, ask your Veterinarian.

Are horses territorial?

Horses are not typically considered territorial animals like some other species.

Why horse racing shouldn't be banned?

Opinion 1:There is no reason why horse racing SHOULD NOT be banned. But there are many reasons why it SHOULD be banned. Here are some:
  • cruelty to animals;
  • against animal rights;
  • entertainment for people at the horse's expense;
  • horse is in pain;
  • horses have to die;
  • horses are being whipped;
  • horses are sad;
  • horses are being abused;
  • horses can not speak for themselves; and
  • horses are unhappy
Opinion 2:It shouldn't be banned altogether, but definitely limitations need to be put on. There are whipping laws (well at least there are here in Australia), but they should be implemented throughout the world. Steeplechase and suicidal things like that should definitely be banned, but flat racing has nowhere near as many risks as jumps. As to the horses being abused and unhappy, how do you know? Just look at So You Think (one of Australia's best horses) in the winners circle. He's enjoying himself. And most horses, definitely thoroughbreds love galloping. Opinion 3:Horse racing should NOT be banned. Regulations as to the number of horses vs. the width of the track or something like that should be put on, and certainly whip laws should be made though. Opinion 4:If horse racing were banned there would be little incentive for anybody to breed horses. Sure, some horses would still be kept as livestock but the thoroughbred bloodline would predictably decline in the absence of race-proven sires and dams. Domestic animals need to serve a function or there is little point in raising them. If nobody raises them, there is no future for their progeny. Banning racing would have the unintended consequence of reducing the population of horses and would ultimately lead to the extinction of racing breeds.

Arguing that horse racing should be banned because it makes horses unhappy and is against 'animal rights' presumes a level of anthropomorphism that most humans will not accept. A ban on horse racing would never be accepted because the industry provides employment to so many people and revenue to local economies and taxes to government.
