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.

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.

How do i solve this problem A stud farm has 24 horses 14 of black 23 of the remainder of brown in the restaurant evenly divided between gray and white how many horses are white?

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.
