A donkey's hooves are more box shaped. They are a sharper angle to the ground where as a horse's are more slanted; a gentler angle. Also, a donkey's hooves are used to dryer climates, so when they are in moister climates or even snow or constant water they can start to soften and this can cause all sorts of problems.
Horse clothing, such as blankets and fly masks, can be bought at any local tack supply store, or large farm supply chains such as Tractor Supply. Several mail order and online tack shops also ship horse clothing.
== == Well, the normal range of foals can be from $450-$900. Yes, there will be prices lower and prices higher. The reason why I didnt say $10,000 is because I'm about to get there. The buy-back foals normally go for a lot more than foals who arent buy-backs. The buy-backs go up to $10,000!
If you mean the American breed of cart horse, they are usually chestnut.
In order to achieve some level of friendship or most likely partnership you must form a bond with that horse, and it's not just by grooming, feeding and exercise. You need to initiate this partnership by first joining up with the horse, which is essentially "chasing" or herding the horse around a round-pen--working on each side of him--until he has his head and ears turned to you. You turn your back and allow him to approach you--the "joining up" part--when his nose touches your shoulder or shoulder blade, then you follow through by rubbing his muzzle then rubbing him down all over on both sides. Once you've achieved the joining up process, then you can do pretty well anything with him, including training, riding and ground-work. Joining up just makes it that much easier to work with a horse, and helps form a bond of trust, respect and even frienship you can't get if you are subconciously fighting a horse for rights to dominance and respect.
The process of joining-up is a complex one and many horse "whisperers" or horse trainers have their own methods. The process described above is just a very, very brief summary of how Monty Roberts would join-up with a horse. Other famous horsemen and -women like Ray Hunt, Pat Perelli and Cherry Hill have their own unique join-up methods that you may wish to follow to create a strong bond with your horse.
In addition to joining-up, a natural horsemanship method gaining popularity called liberated training is also a unique and powerful way to form a strong bond with your horse that can't be achieved with a lunge-line and a halter. All that is needed is you, your horse, and the 100 percent trust, love, loyalty and respect that come in between you and your horse, and you will form a bond of friendship that will last, if not a lifetime, then forever.
Most horses can eat a lot of apples and will not overeat at one feeding. A known case of a horse getting sick from overeating apples is not known.
Minor, but it should be "too" many.

Palomino Horse: History
This horse cannot yet be regarded as an established breed, since it does not present uniform characteristics.
The only feature all Palominos have in common is their coat but strangely enough it is not possible to transmit this color reliably.
The horse is highly regarded in the United States, and in Great Britain there is a pony version.
His horses name was 'Bucephalus'. Here's more: Bucephalus died in June 326 BC, and his breed is an Equus Caballus horse.
It is called a saddle, and is buckled on under the horse's midriff.
Well, if you are a horse lover, it would be pretty bad. As for others, it would still be pretty bad without them.
it all depends on how tall the parents are. some of the best thoroughbreds were 15 hands. some of the biggest qh were 17 hands. anywhere from 15 to 17 hands would be my approximation
I think migrate is not the most accurate word. The Mustang, which is a feral horse, roam over large territories finding new places to graze. Once an area has been eaten down, they will move on in search of greener pastures. This constant roaming keeps the horses from devestating the environment with over-grazing, which in turn will cause soil erosion during rainy season.
Arabian horses,
like all other horse breeds and mammals is a Vertebrate.
If you are asking how do you get a horse to age or grow older, you simply provide adequate nutrition (food, water), shelter and veterinary care and let nature take its course.
However, I suspect what you are asking is how do you determine the age of a horse. This is generally done through examination of the teeth, particularly the cutting surface of the lower incisors. For further information about how the different shapes of the teeth indicate age, please see the related link on this question.
Appaloosa's like all other horses have a temperature of 99 to 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If however you were asking about the terms hot warm or coldblooded horses, then an Appy would be a warmblood type of horse.
There are 24 to start with and 1/4 are black. 24/4=6, so there's 6 black horses.
24-6 gives us 18 horses who are not black. 1/3 of those are brown. 18/3=6 brown horses.
18-6 = 12. Evenly divided means that half are white and half are grey, so 12/2=6. 6 are white, six are grey.
So in the end this was just a really complicated way of saying that 1/4 are each color. There're 6 black horses, 6 brown horses, 6 white horses, and 6 grey horses.
Young stallions (colts(males)) can start mating at about a year or before. He might try younger but is still to young, You can geld(castrate) a colt at aobut a year old.
Young mares (fillies)females)) have a more complicting reprocducting process so they come in season to mate anyware from a year old to 2 1/2 years old
yeas pony's have shorter legs and are a smaller version of the horse. The tallest pony's can get is 14 hands high any higher and it is a horse.
A stallion is a fully grown male horse (over 4 years old, before that age he is called a colt) who has not been castrated. A male horse that has been castrated is called a gelding, and most male horses are gelded because stallions are often unpredictable and moody. Most stallions are only left intact (not gelded) because they are wanted for breeding. There is no other reason to leave a horse entire.
Wild horses in North America are actually descendants of the horses that escapes when settlers settled the West, and because of this they are feral horses, not wild.
