What country horse came from?

Belgium has the best horses for jumping . Belgian horses are sold to Brazilian customers and in the Far East to customers in the Oil States Quatar, Saudi-Arabia. These horse cultures are subject to strict quality specifications and are mainly inseminated by strictly choosen cultivars. The Belgian horses are mainly from the Arabian kind. It all depends on the breed, the experience the breeder has, and the activity the horse will be doing. In my opinion, America, Australia, Britain, Ireland, and Mongolia have the best. They are wild horses. The breeder? Nature, instinct, and God. Good hooves, smart minds, muscular and healthy bodies, devotion, and no inherited dieseases. The mustang and Chincteague ponies are from american; the Brumby, australia, the exmoor, britain; the wild connemaras, Ireland; and the only true wild horse is from Mongolia: The Prezwalski.

When riding what safety distance must be between each horse?

Horses are large animals that need plenty of space. They can also be temperamental. When riding, a gap about the length of one horse should be kept between horses. (When riding abreast, the width of one horse should be kept between the riders). Horse's stalls should not be shared - each horse should have its own stall. The stalls should also be large enough that when standing in the middle of the stall, neither of a horse's neighbours can reach it. The horse should have room to turn around and lie down comfortably in the stall. The statement that horses all sleep standing up is a myth - horses can sleep standing up, but many prefer to lie down, and this takes the strain off their joints. Horses need at least an acre of pasture each.

What is the best places for wild horses to live?

The best thing i believe is to keep the horse in the wild. I do not believe in taking any animal from its home in the wild.

Would you like it if you were taking away from your own home? If you truly consider taking the horse from his home check with the vet to make sure there is nothing wrong with the wild horse.
