Horses

A horse has two lungs, just like most mammals, including humans. These lungs are large and allow horses to have a high oxygen intake capacity, which is essential for their athletic activities.

Zoning is different for counties as well as cities, and covenants in subdivision may restrict numbers even further.

For example:

In my county you can have 4 horses per acre, in a neighboring county they allow only 2 horses, per acre.

A subdivision in either county may only permit one horse per lot, even though the lot is 5 acres. Some subdivisions have more than one filing where one filing allows livestock and the other does not so seeing horses in a neighborhood is not a guarantee that all lots/houses can have horses.

If you are part of a subdivision with convenants there will be documentation

on the restrictions in your neighborhood.

The Hippo baby is referred to as a "calf" .

If it is out in a pasture, then don't do anything. This is perfectly normal and essential for a horse's healthy, non-stress lifestyle. They kick and bite at other horses to determine who is the most competent leader. If they never establish a competent leader, they will always be constantly biting and kicking, and they will be stressed because they don't have a leader to look up to when danger comes.

If it is when you are handling or riding the horse, that is when you need to discipline him. He needs to understand that determining the pecking order is for in the pasture, not while working. It's best to only work around horses your horse already knows, but that's not always possible.

Yeild his hindquarter's away from the other horse and make your horse face it. If he continues to try to kick at horses, tie a red ribbon to his tail to warn them, and any time he does, send him off and work him hard. Trot small circles, yield his hindquarters and forequarters, make him sidepass or back up, etc. Make him understand that kicking equals work.

Well, horses have many different forward movements. First, the walk. Second, they trot. Third, they canter. Fourth, they gallop.

The word stag refers to a male horse that was gelded after he has reached the age of maturity, has been used for breeding before he was gelded or a gelding (no matter his age at the time of gelding) who has stallion like behavior.

The term 'nag' to describe a horse originally meant a small horse trained for riding and can be traced back to fifteenth-century English, though it probably goes back further. There's a similar Dutch word in use about that time, but it's unlikely the English word comes from the Dutch; more probably both terms come from another (unknown) source.

'Nag' later came to mean just an old, or worn-out, horse.

they're some deers in the rainforest but not as many as the ones n the woods!.

Horses normally have YELLOW serum due to high serum bilirubin compared to other species.

No. Horses are not native to the Americas and Mustangs are descendants from domesticated Spanish horses. Because they are a foreign species they can be harmful to the local environments in which they live, and if they go unchecked they destroy grasslands because they have few local predator and they multiply until they overload the land. The bureau of land management calculated the manageable number of mustangs in the US to be 27,000 horses, yet there are currently over 33,000. in order to help control the population the bureau does sell some for meat to Asian countries.

they are severely endangered there are places in the united states that have barely over 1,000 or less but there are very few of them left if not for sactuaries and natinal parks these horses might not make it their grasslands are being destroyed for farming , housing, and factories . froom an opinion of someone who has read alot and seen alot this is true

A hand is a unit of measure in horses that is equal to 4 inches, so a horse that is 16.2 hands is 66 inches tall. Horses are measured from the ground to their withers, which is the point at the base of the neck where the shoulders come together at a point.

Some horses pace naturally. Standardbreds are raced as trotters, pacers (with hobbles) and free legged pacers. There are instances of pacing horses in a number of

breeds, even stories of mustangs that were natural pacers.

Some breeds of carriage horses were bred to pace.

Feral horses became feral when domestic horses escaped or were turned loose to revert back to a wild state. On the other hand, wild horses are just that. They were never domesticated and live totally in the wild. A good example of a wild horse (more or less) would be a zebra. Yes they are just cousins, but the point is they were not tamed and reverted back to the wild.

No, Florida is ranked number 3 in the USA. Florida has 500,124 horses. Texas is number 1 with 978,822 horses. Kentucky 'The horse capital of the world' is ranked at number 5 with just 320,173 horses.

Horses really only supplied horse meat. They did not supply anything more than that. Transportation is another resource - they can be ridden and also carry things or pull carriages. Also, companionship.

Answer2:

Horses provided many resources to humans in the past. Before horses were domesticated they were hunted for meat, bones and skin. These were made into food, tools, and clothes. After domestication and the advancement of production once a horse was no longer useful for work or transportation it was often killed and rendered down for fat , glue,and other items.

You should always stand to the left side of a horse with your hip even with it's shoulder and your right arm close to the lead shank, 'snaking' the rope in front of you and holding it with your left hand. This will ensure that if the horse rears up you will not be in danger of being struck. IF the horse bolts forward it will not run over you and you can always pull it's head around to the left (staying at his/her shoulder) to circle it and calm it down. NEVER lead a horse with it following you!!

A stallion is a male horse that has not been gelded.

A gelding is a male horse that has been gelded. The difference is the surgery that removes the testicles of the male horse. A stallion is one that has not had the surgery and the gelding is one that has had the surgery. Occationally the surgery alone is not enough to remove the stallion like behaviors from the horse, which are primarily driven from hormones. Under rare circumstances a third testicle can be up near the prostate, and an additional surgery will be required to remove that testice to make the stallion completely sterile and a "gelding".

A group of horses in general is-team, harras, stable, stud (a group belonging to one owner) A group of colts is known as- rag and rake. A group of ponies is known as- string. A group of horses in the wild is known as a herd.

Typically horses are fully mature between the ages of 5 and 7 years old. However, just like humans some horses mature more slowly or quicker than the average. Riding can begin at 4 years old, though many people begin at 2 which is not healthy for the horse.

A young female horse is called a filly and a male horse is called a colt. All young horses can be referred to as foals and can be male or female.

Horses can be there, but they are not native to the rainforest.

The mustang horse is no different than any other horse if you're discussing vertebrae or invertebrae. All horses are vertebrae but how many bones are in the spine depends on the breed.

An animal is a vertebrate if they have a backbone/spine. So usually, any creature that has a skeleton is a vertebrate. Invertebrates don't have a backbone and usually have what is known as an extoskeleton (outer skeleton), such as insects or crabs. Therefore, the mustang is a horse and horses have spines = vertebrate.

Heterotrophs are organisms that are not capable of synthesizing their own food. An autotroph on the other hand, is able to synthesize its own food starting with simple molecules and energy.

A horse has to consume food present in the outside world and does not have a mechanism for producing nutrient molecules and energy inherently. So a horse is a heterotroph.
