Horses

Unlike their domestic cousins, wild horses are not boxed in a stall or comparatively tiny pasture all day. Much of the reason for horse hooves needing trimming is also due to their protective shoes-- the metal prevents wear of the hoof wall, resulting in extra growth which must be removed by a farrier. Barefoot wild horses spend over two-thirds of their day grazing, and as they graze, they are constantly walking, foraging for the best grasses and herbs.

The range of a wild horse would make even the roomiest of paddocks seem minuscule in comparison, a herd of 22 animals taking up over three hundred acres. The horses walk 20 - 30 miles per day along hard-packed trails leading to their resources such as mineral deposits, watering holes, and grazing territory.

If your domestic horse walked that far every day on hard prarie soil, I'm sure his feet wouldn't need trimming either!

Free horse racing tips

There is a site with free horse racing selections but this is for New Zealand and Australian horse racing with the odd UK meeting thrown in. Do a google search "Melbourne Cup Method."

No. The word "maverick" was used for an unbranded cow, which could be claimed by any rancher.

You measure your horse at his withers. I've come across many people who think that you measure the horse at his poll when his head is as high as it can go. Measuring a horse at it's poll. Correct: Measuring at his withers. You've probably heard people say something like this: "My horse is 15.3hh." The "hh" part means "hands high." What is a hand? That is the unit that you measure your horse in. Each hand is equal to four inches. So, lets say [beware, we are doing very easy math, nothing to sweat about]: Your horse is 9 hands. Each hand = 4 in. So, we would do: 9 hands x 4 in. = 36 inches. So, if your horse is 9 hands, he is 36 inches.

A "colt" is a young, male horse.

A "stud" is a farm where stallions live, and typically reproduce.

"Stud colt" is a phrase often improperly used to describe young male horses. The proper term would be to simply call the horse a "colt."

Similar to this incorrect phrase is "filly colt," which is essentially a "girl boy." A filly is a young female horse. There is no need to attach the word colt to the description, because a colt is a male.

So, use the term "colt" for a young male horse, and "filly" for a young female horse.

horses tend to flee when they sense danger, but if they have young then they will stand thier ground, stallions tend to be more protective. But they can kick out/buck and bite if a predator gets too close

A worn out horse is a hack or a jade

Nag is another word used

We have the same forward-facing eyes and typical movement of any other predator--wolf, coyote, cougar or bear--that every prey animal remains suspicious of and does every thing it can--if not trained through habituation, especially to humans and human activity--to steer clear from these predators for their own safety.

The tail of a horse consists of two parts. The dock and the skirt. The dock consists of the muscles and skin covering the coccygeal vertebrae. The term "skirt" refers to the long hairs that fall below the dock. It has a curvy shape, with small tufts of thick hair.

The cost of a Coggins test for a horse varies from one veterinarian to the next. The average price range is between $60 and $150. Some vets in smaller areas may charge less.

Stallion

It is called the herd of goats!

Neither. Horses don't go through any form of metamorphosis.

A canter is less than a gallop.

Billy the kid had multiple horses over time. However, he was reputed to have had a favorite Bay mare, a race horse, that he legally purchased. The mare eventually ended up in the possession of a Ms. Moore who named the mare "Kid Stewart Moore". The original name of the mare, and the name used by Billy for the mare, is unknown.

Most white horses aren't actually white; they're technically gray, a result of the G gene. Those horses were born another color and faded as they grew, such as the Lipizzaners, who are born dark but turn white as they become adults. Other "white" horses may have a slightly odd, nearly ivory tinge to their color; these are cremellos and perlinos. They were born their present color, but in their case, it's the result of a double copy of the creme or dilute gene (Cr) and a otherwise chestnut or bay coat. There are very few truly white horses. Paint foals may be born white, a condition known as "lethal white" where the digestive system is incomplete. They may be able to be saved by emergency surgery, but most die. There are also a few white Thoroughbreds, and I believe there may be some in other breeds as well. This is a result of the very rare W gene. I would estimate, however, that there's probably less than a hundred truly white horses in the world right now.

there are over one million hairs in a horses tail. there are over one million haris on your very own head (unless your bald).

The withers. This is the highest point on a horse's back, and is formed by the dorsal vertebrae.

A horse or pony's height is determined by the distance between the ground and the highest point on his withers, using a unique unit of measure called a "hand." One hand is equal to four inches.

Height is expressed by the number of hand units tall, followed by a decimal point, then the number of inches (if any) remaining above the last full "hand." More simply, a horse that stands 5 feet tall (or 60 inches) at the highest point of his withers, would measure 15.0 hands high (60 inches divided by 4 (a hand) = 15). If the horse was just two inches taller, his height would be recorded as 15.2 hands.

One way horses are distinguished from ponies is on the basis of size, with horses measuring over 14.2 hands (58 inches, or 4'8.3" at the back), and ponies measuring at or below that size.

I have heard of only one horse that has ESP. I believe they can. I mean, its a special gift, but I think at least some do. Not all can. But most will not have ESP.

Horses can sense what you are feeling. Fear, joy, ect ect. But they don't have exactly "ESP".

Horse's teeth are considered to be longer than what you might consider their teeth to be due to their diet. Their teeth are "big" so that they can efficiently rip up grass to eat. Wild horses evolved to have large teeth for the previous mentioned reason as well as for protection. Wild Stallions (Male Horses) use their teeth (as well as hooves) to protect themselves from predators as well as to fight other stallions for mares (female horses) Hope This Helps!

mare

Mare=Female Stallion=breedable male horse (stud) gelding= male horse that is fixed

Do you mean wild horses or owned horses? People own horses everywhere, there is no map for that. Wild horses, however, live in secluded places, away from people, where they have food and water.

Well duhh! I think this question is more like a question for can i have a map or is there a map if so where is it. Maybe not that's just what i though it sounded like.
