Around 3 to 10 hours
It all depends on your horse. If you have a horse with good stamina, or you plan to only walk and trot, you can ride for longer. If you're like me, you love cantering, galloping and jumping over home made jumps :). You can't trail ride as long, it will tire your horse out. Sometimes, I'm on my horse for over 2 1/2 / 3 hours, but I give my horse breaks. It depends on what you can do and what your horse can do. :) I <3 riding :) hope this helps you!
No I'm afraid not, the Appalachian Trail is maintained strictly for hikers. There are however many trails that run along side the Appalachian Trail that would be horse accessible.
Depending on the horse (breed, size, physical condition) and the reason why the person riding wants to ride (ie. pleasure, competition, dressage...) you can ride your horse for several hours a day. Remember that your horse needs breaks sometimes, just like you, so 5-10 min. rest every hour or so is probably a good idea. Always cool your horse down before turning it back out or returning it to its stall. Ideally, you should only work a horse once a day, for a maximum of two hours (depending on what you are doing) and a minimum that depends on the horse (and what you are doing). Horses should not be worked every day, maybe about 5 or 6 days a week.
The Dead Horse Trail or Dead Horse Pass was a nickname for White Pass during the Klondike Gold Rush. It was named this because so many pack horses died on the attempt to cross over the pass. Horses were dead along side the trail and sometimes the dead horses were trampled right into the dirt and mud as thousands of people and horses walked over their remains on the trail. Some estimates say over 30,000 horses dies there.
no, if the mare has a only a small amount of foals in her life pregnancy will not cause her a sway back. if the mare has has many foals in her time this can cause her to have a swayback. it generally depends on how many foals she has had and what age she had them at. other things besides pregnancy can also casue horse to have swayback

The horse roughly sleeps 5 hours
A walking trail horse is simply a horse that you can take on trails at a walking speed. That's the literal meaning of the question; but as a trail rider and author of Basic Training for a Safe Trail Horse I would say that "walking trail horse" refers to a gaited breed of trail horse like the Tennessee Walker. TW's are the most common of walking horses, but there are many other gaited breeds that perform comfortable gaits that can be described as a "walking" gait. Many of these gaits are performed at speeds comparable to the gaits of trotting or cantering in non-gaited breeds.
I can ride a horse 5 hours in a day.

Which breed are you talking about? I know a quarter horse can run a quarter of a mile in 1 min. or so. I would say Arbians can run the longest.AnswerWhich breed are you talking about? Quarter horses can run a quarter of a mile in a min. or so. I would say an Arabian can run tha longest though.
So long as there are no serious problems with the horse you can ride it. Many horses are ridden well into their teens and even twenties with no ill effects.

There are many different things to do while on the back of a horse. Trail rides, jumping fences, chasing cattle, or making friends with other horse lovers.
Read the book " The Man Who Listens to Horses" by Montey Roberts. I have used his simple technique many many times and it never failed me.
its depend on the stamina of the horse but horse can run a lot.
