What is the weight of edible meat from a horse?

Generally carass weight includes the bones in the main part of the animal.

The percentage of meat and bone (% yield) from most animals that are bred for slaughter (cows, sheep, pigs etc.) are in the 50-70 percent range based the type of animal.

Horses probably run in te low end of this range as they are not bred for slaughter.

Certain of the more muscular breeds of horses, especially those that have lighter bone would yield higher.

An animal with a live weight of 1000 pounds would have a carcass weight between 500 and 600 pounds.

The other answer is that no horses have edible meat (whether this is because they are loaded with chemicals or can't be slaughtered humanely) so zero pounds.

What does a horses bum look like?

I think this should answer your question.A guinea pig's bum does not look any different from its body. It is the same largeness as it's full torso. You will see a little "crack" at the bottom of it's bum but it's naturally the fur, not in the guinea pig's skin. If you were to lift him/her up you would only see a small hole where feces would come out.

How can you tell a horse is five years old?

There are several indications of a horse's age, many similar to those seen in humans. Old horses will move more slowly and with less spring in their step. A black, brown or other non-grey horse that has grey or white hairs around its muzzle is probably old. The hair in an older horse's mane and tail thins, and mares may come on heat less frequently. The easiest way to tell a horse's age is by looking in its mouth. A very young horse will still have its milk teeth, which are smaller and whiter. After 6 months the milk teeth start to fall out. By age 4, most horses have a complete set of adult teeth. When they come through they are straight, white and not worn. You can tell how old a horse is by the slope and amount of wear on its teeth. This website has diagrams and a good explanation: www.hanne.com/teeth-ageing.html
