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
There is no set weight limit to riding a horse. However, horses can carry 1/3 of their weight. If your weight is more than 1/3 of your horses, you can cause injuries and soreness. And eventually the horse will become sway (its back will curve in) with age. People should choose a horse that is strong enough to hold them. Make sure of this to be sure you are not harming your horse.
The definition of waddle is to walk in a slow, clumsy way. The short steps will cause the body to sway back and forth. A penguin has short legs, causing it to walk with a waddle.
To find the age of a horse in horse years you multiply the horse's age in human years by 3. For example, if you have a horse that is 6 in human years it would be 18 in horse years. You can find a horse's age in horse years no matter what age the horse is in human years. Glad to help!
In the very early stages of pregnancy it is ok to ride them but i would suggest only lightly. Further along though you should not ride a pregnant horse for it may put you, your horse, and your horses unborn foal in danger.
There are several indications of a horse's age, many similar to those seen in humans. Old horses will move more slowly and with less spring in their step. A black, brown or other non-grey horse that has grey or white hairs around its muzzle is probably old. The hair in an older horse's mane and tail thins, and mares may come on heat less frequently. The easiest way to tell a horse's age is by looking in its mouth. A very young horse will still have its milk teeth, which are smaller and whiter. After 6 months the milk teeth start to fall out. By age 4, most horses have a complete set of adult teeth. When they come through they are straight, white and not worn. You can tell how old a horse is by the slope and amount of wear on its teeth. This website has diagrams and a good explanation: www.hanne.com/teeth-ageing.html
if it makes the horse sore, no, if the horse is fine, then of course. you should ask your vet about it. by the way, this "dippy back" is called a "sway back" :)
what wind causes small trees to sway
I had a vibration in my 2002 and I replaced the sway bar and sway bar links.
The Rockaway
Broken sway bar or sway bar links.
change the sway bar rubber bushings and sway bar link bushings
Some people call it "sway back."
The trees began to sway in the wind, their branches gently moving back and forth.
A sway bar is used to control the sway of a trailer towed with a ball hitch. it is a two piece assembly with a handle attached to a screw tightener. the sway bar attaches to your hitch and to the A frame on your trailer. It attaches through the use of 1"ball and cups on each axle sway slides back and forth as the trailer and tow vehicle articulate. The screw tightener clamps down on a brake shoe which causes friction to limit the amount of movement on the bar.

A geriatric horse, is an elderly horse.The joints of the horse will start to get puffy, and circulation will become less, since the heart grows weaker with age. This stage of a horse's life begins in the horse's late teens or early twenties (which is around 60 to 70 years of age equivalent in humans). A horse's back will begin to sag, making it look quite sway-backed, and many develop age-related disorders such as kidney and liver disease. In the wild, these conditions contribute to rapid deterioration and death. A wild geriatric horse in the wild is one that is most likely to be hunted and killed by predators like wolves, bears and mountain lions.
