So, why were the Mamluks successful in repelling the Mongols? A contributing factor to their success was their status as professional soldiers. The small Mamluk state featured very little administrative, cultural, and intellectual development. Its existence was solely for military training. The Mamluks' military skills easily matched those of the powerful Mongols. Additionally, the Mamluks used horseshoes on their horses. The Mongols did not, so the rocky terrain of Syria injured the hooves of the Mongol horses and made them ineffective. Finally, the Mamluks realized that grasslands were needed for the Mongol horses. Therefore, they often burned the grasslands to prevent Mongol horses from grazing. The Mamluk victories in 1260 marked a turning point for the Mongol army in the region.

If a horse is caught in a sandstorm, it may experience physical discomfort due to sand getting into its eyes, ears, and nostrils.

Horses, like people, will build muscle tone and endurance as they work. Be sure to step them up gradually so that they don't get injured or sore, but there's really little to do differently than a horse that's rarely work. There's nothing you absolute must do, but consider three suggestions (you may or may not actually need them, but be prepared):

1. Make sure the horse has acess to plenty of water, and give him breaks to drink during long workouts. This is the simplest thing you could do for your horse, but it's very important during the summer months.

2. You might want to consider suppliments. These will simply make sure your horse is getting 100% of the nutrients he needs for hard work, and the less expensive versions can cost as low as $5 a month. My favorite would be Electrolytes or Apple-Dex--both are designed supply the electrolytes working horses lose.

Also, depending on the horse and the type of work he's engaged in, joint supplements can help keep his joints (especially hocks and fetlocks) healthy longer. Or if he already has mild arthritis or a similar condition, these will help ease stiffness and pain. It's normally not nessesary, but for hard trail riding or higher level dressage/jumping, it probably will help.

3. Okay, the last thing is feet. A lot of riding (especially on hard surfaces) will wear down hooves faster than they can grow. Make sure to schedule regular farriar visits and keep in mind that, depending on your horse, you almost definitely will need shoes (which can add up to 90 or so dollars to your farriar bill).

Just like many other animals, horses have a certain genetic makeup that their body follows. This genetic makeup says, "Hey body, you need to grow to these specifications. This is how big your muscles should be, this is how long your neck and legs should be, ect." Also, horses are large, heavy animals, and even walking requires a good amount of strength. This is almost like weight training for us. Also, plants DO contain small amounts of protein, and with the volume of food that they consume, they consume enough to build the musculature that they possess.
