Umm... they don't! Do you mean abandon their foals? They don't really do that either! When a horse is about a year old it will be weaned (no longer drinks from its mother.)
Acually horses sometimes do abort there foals they might do it because their not ready or because horses are prey animals and there might be a food sortage or a lot of deaths it the herd.Also horses abandon their foal sometimes to they dont want to look after it or it might have fatal dieses.Well just had to prove that.

Yes, mares do sometimes abort their foals. If the foal is deformed or sick in the womb, or if the mare is sick or eats poisonous food, or if there is a shortage of food or water, she could abort her foal. If there are twins, or if the foal has lethal white syndrome it could also be aborted.

Why is a horses frog called a frog?
It is a triangle shaped piece of cartilage in the centre of a horse's hoof. It is delicate yet it feels solid- and it can get infected if it is pierced by sharp objects. It is a jolly good shock absorber, and stops hard impact, from sport or general pleasure riding, from reaching the delicate bone. It is protected by the hoof wall, and the hoof wall, the horseshoe. Like below, it is easily damaged and if the stone or thorn isn't removed in time, your horse can become permanently lame and develope a limp.
Original Answers (because I'm kind and I kept your answers =3)
1. A frog is a piece of cart ledge in the middle of a horses hove. It helps protect their foot from sharp rocks and other objects.
2. Actually, it absorbs pressure. Like a shock pad or something. It is easy to stab with a hoof pick, so you have to be very careful.
How much food can horses eat before they become foundered?
It depends on the individual animal and the food they are eating, as well as how active the animal is.
A very fit animal burning a lot of calories in competition, for example, could eat quite a lot with no risk of founder. On the other hand, a fat pony with little exercise could eat just a couple of pounds of grain a day and founder on it.
Ponies are more likely to founder than horses.
Fat animals are more likely to founder than fit ones.
Animals who suddenly eat too much or who colic are more likely to founder.
Typically, what you see are fat old ponies foundering in spring when the grass suddenly turns green and they pig out.
Where did thoroughbreds first come from?
Thoroughbreds were first bred from lines of Arabians for their large nostrils and great lung capacity. This enabled them to cover long distances at a fast pace and have enough oxygen in their bodies to perform such great feats. Many other breeds are also derived from the Arabian.
How do I tell if my horses are mating?
If you have mares and stallions running together during the breeding season (late spring and summer) there's a pretty fair chance that the mares will get pregnant. Mating is normal behaviour. Loads of people have seen mares being bred and they think that having her tied down and protesting the whole time is normal. This is a sign that something is wrong. A mare that is comfortable with the stallion and ready to mate will stand quietly for service and will not attack him as many people believe.
You can tell when a mare is on heat and ready to breed to within a few days because she shows pretty obvious behavioral signs - looking interested in the stallion, frequent urination, holding her tail up and out, and winking constantly, or turning the flaps of the vulva in and out. When she has access to a stallion she may walk up to him, back up to him, sniff him and give other signs that she is very interested - if she's doing this and you want her in foal to that stallion - leave her there!
Another answer...

Should you ride a horse in the rain?
Yes, because horses are meant to be in the wild.
As long as the ground is not very slippery, it would be OK. However, if the ground is very slippery, you want to be very careful because the horse could easily lose it balance and fall.
Are horses buried after they die?
There are a lot of ways that horses can die, so there is numerous things we can say about that, one of mine is if they have a stomach ace, they can acually die from it, its not like us.
No, a mare can not be castrated (neutered). The stallion however can be, and after castration they are called "Geldings".
There are many things that can be made from horses tail. I've seen bracelets and rings made from horse tails. I had a friend who use to weave small baskets out of horse hair. And you can even use horse hair pulled from other horses to make natural looking extensions in a horse who does not usually have long manes or tails.
Horse hair can also be braided into many different items, like whips tassels and with enough skill can even be used to make bridles or small, thin rope like items.
