That will depend on many things. Some horses are born with grey hairs in their tails, that's called a 'Skunk tail'.

How many horses does it take to pull the moon?

This question sucks a gillam The moon weighs about - or rather has a mass of:- 73,430,000,000,000,000,000 tonnes (This is not exact - just a figure I found on a web site about moon related facts) Now, some shires can pull up to 6 tonnes... So a simple method would be to divide the moons mass by 6 and that's how many horses required... 12238333333333333333 horses... It will require less than this though, as teams of horses can pull more than individuals to a significant degree... It also assumes that the Moon is resting on the Earth...
