Most specifically based on the difference in chromosome count that results in infertile offspring when the two species are crossed. Male donkey/female horse crosses (mulse) are produce more robust and reach maturity much more often that the
reverse cross (hinny).
What kind of dog herds horses?
Any herding dog will do it if they're trained. Corgis were bred to be so small for herding cows so if they kicked the hoof would go over the dog rather than hitting it, so it would probably be useful for horses as well.

What order does horse grooming brushes used in?
1. Start with the Rubber Curry. The rubber curry should be used in a circular motion to loosen dirt that has settled under the horse's hair. NOTE: be very careful and gentle around bony areas of your horse's body (such as his back or shoulders). Don't use a Rubber Curry on your horse's legs unless you can be extremely gentle with it. Never use a Curry or any stiff brush on your horse's face. It's too easy for your horse to injure his eye on the rubber curry or stiff bristled brush, and eye injuries are usually serious, needing immediate veterinarian attention.
2. Next, use the Dandy Brush. The motion for this brush is like the same motion you would use when sweeping a floor. You 'flick' the brush away and up from the coat so that the dirt comes off of his coat. Unless your horse is already extremely clean, you should see a slight cloud of dust with each stroke. If you don't, you need more "flicking" action with this brush. If you don't use this "flicking" motion, the dirt will just get pushed back under the hair, potentially causing irritation to the horse.
3. Then, you use the Body Brush. The body brush is meant to smooth down the hair and to get rid of any traces of left-over dirt after you have thoroughly used the Dandy Brush. With the Body Brush, you do not use a 'flicking' motion, instead, you smooth it flat over the horse's coat to flatten the hair. This brush often gives the horse a shiny, clean appearance (but only when the brushes are used in this order!)
4. Next, use the Mane Comb to gently comb the horse's mane. Use the Dandy Brush to brush the horse's tail. Many people use the comb to brush their horse's tails, but I don't use a comb since it breaks the hairs more easily. If you want the horse to grow a long, flowing tail, you should use the Dandy brush instead (or don't brush the tail at all...in this case, you could use warm water to rinse the tail, then apply a tail conditioner or Show Sheen to keep the tail from tangling or getting knots).
5. Now, on to the feet! You should first have your instructor show you how to pick up a horse's feet. Usually, this can be done by running your hand down your horse's leg, then gently squeezing his fetlock (ankle). Be sure not to pick up the horse's foot too high, or he might loose balance. When you use the hoof pick, always scrape away from you, just as you would if you were using a carrot peeler. You don't want to accidently injure yourself or your horse if he suddenly moves or pulls his foot away. It is important to thoroughly clean out the hollow areas on both sides of the frog, and around the sole of the foot.
6. The last step is using the Towel. A plain towel or rag will do, just wipe it over the horse's coat to bring out the shine.
A curry comb is a tool made of rubber or plastic with short teeth on one side. Its purpose is to break up dirt clumps and pull loose hair to the surface of the coat. It is the first of several brushes used to groom a horse's coat. The curry comb dates back to the 13th century though the word "curry-comb" wasn't formally used until the 16th century. The word curry as it relates to the curry comb was first used in a 14th century French poem called "Roman de Fauvel" by Gervais De Bus. The curry comb got its name from those who groomed noblemen's (lords, knights, etc.) horses in an attempt to gain their favor and seek advancement.

OK you mean horse and a curry comb is a type of comb that you brush your horse with.
Currycomb: A tool made of rubber or plastic with short "teeth" on one side, that slides onto the hand of the groom. It is usually the first tool used in daily grooming. The horse is rubbed or "curried" to help loosen dirt, hair, and other detritus, plus stimulate the skin to produce natural oils. The curry comb is usually used in a circular motion to work loose embedded material. Curries are generally too harsh to be used on the legs or head, though varieties made of softer rubber are available. P.S the curry comb card on howrse does not have a code

What did a horse represent to native Americans?
At first, horses were viewed as prey. They were hunted for their meat. Then Native Americans discovered that horses could be used for transportation. They trained horses to ride for aid in hunting, raiding other tribes, and going to war. Using horses made it much easier for them to travel quickly.
Having horses also allowed tribes to be more mobile so that they could follow the herds of animals that they hunted (buffalo). The horses were able to carry most of their things so that they could travel faster.

A foal gets into position shortly before birth. As it is being born you will first see one front hoof, then the second, followed by the foal's nose. The head and shoulders are the most difficult part. The hips and hind legs are usually born with little difficulty. Any other position other than this is called a Dystocia and is abnormal and the mare and/or foal will likely be in danger.
How do you say climb aboard a horse?
