How would the world be different without horses other than no manure to clean up?

Without horses, we would not have many of the medicines we do today. It's true- most medicines were originally medicines and supplements for horses, but vets and doctors discovered that they could help people, too. Also, we would not have had the basis for developing cars and would not have won some wars that we did- including the revoulutionary war. And we would have lost one of the most beautiful, graceful, and noble creatures on Earth.

Horses are one of the few animals that can be trained to cooperate with humans, and the only one capable of carrying loads over long distances in varied types of terrain and climate.
Without them the history of the Old World would certainly have been vastly different. Trade would have been limited to seagoing transportation. Agriculture would have been rather different. Wars would have been limited in scope, and great empires would not likely have emerged because there would have been no need. Who needs to own land that they can't get to with relative ease? There would likely have been no Revolutionary War, period, because there most likely would not have been an England.
The remarks about medicine are incorrect: humans were doctoring humans for many thousands of years before horses were domesticated about 6000 years ago, and they continued to do so successfully in some parts of the world for several thousand years more before horses arrived.

What infection is called the frog?
No infection is called a frog. The frog is a part of the horses foot. It is shaped like a "V" and acts as the cushion for the bottom of hoof. A frog can become infected however. Usually from an anaerobic bacteria called thrush. Thrush can be caused from a wet and dirty environment. It is important to keep a horses living area clean of manure and urine. Equally important is to regularly pick a horses feet free of mud, dirt, rocks and manure so that air can get to the frog preventing the disease. If a horse has thrush it should be treated with any of the many over the counter topical treatments that will kill the bacteria.

Is there any Jobs with horses for an 8th grader?
If there are any stables nearby, start hanging around so people will eventually not see you as a stranger; when you feel comfortable or opportunity knocks, start talking to people-- don't get too close to the horses or touch them without asking--if it seems okay, ask questions, people like to talk about their horses and most horse people are happy to talk to someone like you (they may even have been just like you). As for jobs, everyone starts out cleaning stalls and picking up manure; and as with everything else, there is an efficient way to clean a stall, and when you learn how to do that (by watching how it's done and volunteering) and get good at it, then maybe you canget a paying job at the stables--cleaning stalls.
