Is there a certain day out of the year where if you catch a wild horse you can keep it?
No, you cannot just go out on a certain day and catch a wild or feral horse and keep it. This is because they are under the care and protection of the government and you must wait until they are rounded up before purchasing one.
What are the special features of a wild mustang?
everything about a wild mustang is special.
Mustangs are the last wild horses in the States. Other than the Sable Island ponies, they are the only wild horses in North America.
The American Wild Mustangs are on average the size of the American pony, they aren't any one color, or breed specific look. Due to natural selection and the ranges they roam without access to other areas. Also breeding with domestic wild horses, has helped mix their gentic pool. Many of these horses roam in and travel between several states, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, are the most heavily traveled. The Bureau Of Land Management, BLM , is responsible for upholding The Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act, of 1971. So the horses are protected. But under pressure from livestock, and land owner's, the BLM has allowed wild horse roundups using helicopters , and even though the American Wild Mustang is part of our heritage, The BLM has a new proposal that could kill up to thousands of wild horses being held in holding facilities now. I don't know if I'm allowed to list info. regarding how to reach someone in an answer? ( so I won't) I have information regarding the address for the Bureau of Land Management and the Director's name. I've sent a letter, to let my him know my feelings.
There was a study and then film done about a herd of wild mustangs. The herd was named for one of the horses leading the herd "Cloud". If you want more information on the mustangs, check for info about Cloud's Herd.
Horses have evolved from a small three-toed animal about the size of a large dog to the large and beautiful creature he is today. He is equipted with four tough and deadly hooves that can kill a predator with a single well-placed kick. Strong, large teeth and jaw muscles that can crush bone on even the largest predator, including man. Four long legs for speed and great sight, hearing and sense of smell.
What is the lifespan of a horse?
If a horse is completely healthy yes, it might live to be 40 years old, but that is a stretch. Biological factors, riding accidents, illnesses/diseases, etc. make it very hard for a horse to live for that many years. The average lifespan is 20-30 years old, depending as you said on the horse's health. Though someone takes very good care of their horse, there are still uncontrollable factors that could contribute to the horse's demise at an earlier age.
How do horses fight other horses?
It's difficult to train a wild horse because they are they still have their original instincts. Which would be to not really relate or be around humans. Also in the wild such as Nevada or Utah ext. horses don't really see or come across human beings. So their for when you go and capture a wild horse or animal for that matter it will not be used to you and it will be so you have to ease into the training and be very cautious. They will be very sketchy at first. But if you handle them every day it will get better and better every day!

Can a oxen run faster than a horse?
Mooses are known to run 35 to 42mph. If the moose is a bit old it might not run that fast. Bears can run atleast 30mph. Mooses cannot turn right or left that quickly like gazelle can so they should only run at one direction. Bears can turn right and left a bit faster then mooses. Mooses are faster then bears.

wild horses we think of today (mustangs) are feral. that means they have domestic ancestors, and/or are tame/ used to people
It depends entirely on your definition of what is "ok". Horse meat is physically acceptable to eat, it won't hurt you, but you would have to personally decide if you would want to eat the meat of a horse. Many would consider it on par with eating the meat of a dog or cat, and it's not a common practice.
How strong is a horse compared to a human?
A horses strength varies according to its height, age, weight, breed and body type. A newborn foal for example, is not nearly as strong as a human. But compare a clydesdale to a human, the clydesdale could crush the person.
In other words, if we were to fight a horse with our bare hands, without tools, we would lose.
if you are lonely or sad, you can hug them, you can tell them why you are sad. Also you can tell them your secrets, because they won't tell anyone. They can be fun to brush while you are thinking about your problems.
Can horses see in front of them with blinkers on?
That's the whole point of blinkers, so the horse can see just in front and not to the side of them, some horses panic when they see another horse coming up along side of them so blinkers stop this happening.
How much does a 3 year old Arabian horse cost?
There are many things that affect the price of a horse (of any breed).
The following things are considered when selling a horse:
Age:
This question specifies an 11-year old horse. Therefore, since it is not in the "prime" of it's age for (re)training purposes, this will lower the price a bit.
Training:
A horse that has more training is obviously worth more. It also depends on the sport it is trained in. An 11-year-old Arabian trained in racing will not be worth as much as an 11-year-old Arabian trained in jumping -- since the previous would be too old to continue racing.
Temperament:
Many people will pay more money for a horse that is calm and sane. Having a horse that is 11-year-old and still acts like a yearling can be dangerous and many people don't want to have to take the task on themselves to have to try and train the horse.
Lineage:
A horse with amazing lineage and a proven parentage will be worth a lot more than an Arabian horse that someone bred in there backyard. Similarly, having the papers for the horse (to prove its lineage) will make it worth more.
Conformation:
A properly built horse will be worth more than a horse with poor conformation. That is because horses with proper conformation will be able to more (physically) than horses with poor conformation before becoming inhibited.
Taking all of that into consideration:
An 11-year-old Arabian horse can cost anywhere from free up to $25,000 (on average).

This is more of how to be accepted amongst them. As much as to attract them. To begin with, wolves aren't really attracted to anything much accept a female in heat or a dead body. As I said, not much. But being accepted is another thing. Just submit yourself if you are trying for a low acceptance. But if you are willing to put your life on the line, well, do something that gets the leader's respect. But do realize you may be making a mistake
read Julie of the wolves. she has a lot of tips on how to attract wolves like staying low on the ground, never raising your head above the lead wolf and never staring into his eyes.
Firstly you need to consider you actually have the knowledge, space, ability and time to care for a horse. If you don't have all of these things, then you really shouldn't have one. If you do, then the first step is probably to make some friendlyt contacts.
Buying horse by word of mouth can often mean you find more reputable dealers, and can have some history of the horse you are buying. When you hear of a horse you would like to go and see, go and see it. make sure you see it ridden, handled, and ask handle and possibly ride it yourself, if it appears safe. Always take someone with you, and don't be afraid to go back more than once. Ask lots of questions, especially about history and health. If you want a jumping pony, make sure you see it jumped, if you want something to hack out alone, watch someone take it upo the road alone, or for something good in traffic, ask ride out with them somewhere fairly busy (but not unsafe!) always wear a reflective jacket!
Once you have decided on a horse to buy, you need to consider the finances. Can you afford it? Should you try to haggle the price down?Ask what is included in the price, for example tack and blankets. Then consider if youm feel it necessary to have a vetting done or not, an experienced person wiull be able to help you decide.
Finally you must prepare your yard for the new horse. make sure he has a clean stable, and field, and when turning him out with others for the first time, keep a close eye on their behaviour,m he may be bullied. When he settles down, then enjoy him.
Sampson, a Shire horse gelding foaled in 1846 in Toddington Mills, Bedfordshire, England, is the tallest horse ever recorded.
Sampson, owned by Mr Thomas Cleaver, stood 21.2½ hands high (i.e. 7ft 2½in or approx 2.2m at his withers) by the time he was a four year old, when he was re-named Mammoth.
His peak weight was estimated at 3,360 lb (1,520 kg).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Also, there was a 23hh black horse at only 4 years old. He was really pretty and VERY VERY big
_________________________________________________
The tallest ever horse was a shire named Sampson. He was born in 1846 in Bedfordshire, England and grew to stand at 21.2hh(2.18 m), weighing one and a half ton!!! As he grew, he was renamed Mammoth!
To the person below, the average horse grows until he is 4.

Where are mustang horses most found?
Arabian horses are not wild horses, they are domestic horses. They are kept, raised and bred all over the world, including the US, Canada, Europe and Arabia of course. Arabian horses are generally more fragile animals and many prefer to live in stalls, rather than outdoor keeping, but although stalls combined with daily turnout make for a lovely home for an Arabian horse, if a horse has a large paddock with lots of room to roam, and a safe, secure run-in shelter to go in when it needs, it will do wonderfully.
How did wild mustangs become endangered?
Wild mustangs were persecuted by ranchers for taking over grazing lands that were intended for their cattle. As a result, large numbers were rounded up and taken to the slaughter plant to be made into glue and dog food. Also, a lot of their habitat had been exploited and taken over by humans, driving them into smaller-sized isolated areas where they can only thrive from. Wild horses are almost like wolves: they thrive best where humans are not living or are commonly found. They prefer very isolated areas that are literally untouched by the encroachment of human civilization.
Carrots are not required for good nutrician, but horses seem to think they are.
Yes, horses can eat carrots. don't feed too many, however, as too much of anything is bad.
It depends on all different horses, some don't like them. I suppose that if you really wanted your horse to like them well, you could keep trying.
