Horses

Yes, horses should have ample space to graze, roam, and move freely in order to maintain their physical and mental well-being. Providing enough space allows them to exhibit natural behaviors and reduces the risk of stress-related issues.

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.

Roy Rogers' German shepherd's name was Bullet. Bullet was Roy's faithful companion and appeared in many of his films and television shows.

Yes, horses can eat satsumas in moderation as a treat. However, it's important to remove any seeds and peel them to avoid any choking hazards. While satsumas are safe for horses to eat occasionally, they should not make up a significant portion of their diet.

A horse's grandmother is called a "great-granddam" or "great-grandmare."

"when the Spanish arrived, soon after America was discovered by Christopher Columbus."

I left the previous answer in tact as a learning moment. Can you believe that people still couch what Columbus did in this way? "Discovered"

The horse actually originated in the Americas long before humans but was gone by the time the first humans arrived. The horse was re-introduced by the Spanish as they began to explore and exploit the "New World." So - right around 1500.

I think you may be confusing the term "pony" with the term for a baby horse which is a "foal". A pony is actually an entirely different subspecies of equine that is typically smaller than a horse.

The gestation length for a horse is 11months, so mathematically a horse can give birth once a year after they have reached puberty which is around 2 years old. They usually are too old to carry a foal when they have reached the age of 20. So, mathematically a horse could have around 18 foals during her lifetime. However, most mares that are used only for breeding have around 10 - 15 foals during their life.

Horses are not capable of lying as they do not possess the cognitive ability for deceit or manipulation. Horses communicate through body language and behavior, being honest and direct in their interactions with humans and other animals.

The species name of any living organism--including horses--remains the same regardless of sex, age or breed. The species name of the horse including males, females and young (and encompasses all breeds, from Appaloosas to Clydesdales) is Equus ferus caballus.

I assume you are referring to a Dales Pony, which can be any height under fifteen hands. However they are rarely less than thirteen hands high and the breed characteristics are 14hh to 14 2hh.

the easiest way to tell is if when the mare get around a male whether it be gelded or not she will urinate. she will also not want you near the back of her. horses do not bleed they go into what is called "heat". the only thing is more like flirting than anything else.

Although some horses don't like dogs, most of the time they leave them alone. When dogs start chasing the horses in what they think is a game, though, the horses will try to kick them. Most of the time they don't mind each other.

Keeping a horse stall clean and well-maintained is important for the health and well-being of the horse. This includes regular mucking out of waste, providing clean bedding, and ensuring good ventilation and lighting. It's also essential to regularly check for any safety hazards or repairs that may be needed.

12ft by 12ft is considered an acceptable size for each individual stall (which would house only one horse). However, as small as 10ft by 10ft (constructed for ponies or miniature horses) and as large as 14ft by 14ft are fairly common. To find the size of the entire stable, you need to consider how many stalls you want (which is how many horses you are going to keep in it), and then most people add aisleways and rooms to keep equipment and feed/hay (although these are not strictly nessesary).

Appaloosa is a breed of horse known for its distinct spotted coat pattern, which can vary in size and shape. This breed is often recognized for its unique appearance and versatility in various disciplines such as Western riding, dressage, and trail riding.

In the context of horses, "grade" typically refers to a horse that does not have a specific or recognized breed pedigree. These horses are often of mixed breeding or their lineage is unknown. Grade horses are valued based on individual characteristics rather than a specific breed lineage.

Upto 200 babies at a time according to this, http://www.scienceinafrica.co.za/2003/february/shorse.htm

Usually a horse has only one foal. Being a very large animal it is rare for a horse to have more than one at a time. However, twins are not unheard of. Twins do not usually live, one of them is usually weaker.

Horses do not have knees in the same sense that humans do. They have front legs with knees that are equivalent to our wrists, and hind legs with hocks, which are the equivalent to our ankles. Instead of bending their legs at the "knee," horses extend their legs or "lock" them in place.

You may have luck finding La Francaise Semi Vitreous plates with a wild game pattern on online marketplaces like eBay or Etsy, as well as antique shops or specialty tabletop stores that carry vintage china. Additionally, you can try searching at estate sales or auctions that feature antique dishware.

Common horse feed includes hay, grains (such as oats, corn, and barley), and commercial pelleted feeds. Hay provides fiber and bulk, grains offer energy, and pelleted feeds are formulated to provide balanced nutrition. The type and amount of feed required depend on the horse's age, weight, activity level, and overall health.
