When grooming a grass kept pony which brush should you not use to much of?

I've never heard of using certain brushes on certain horses. My only idea is that you don't use a metal curry comb on a horse unless it's shedding it's winter coat. YOU MUST NEVER USE A METAL CURRY COMB ON A HORSE! You use a metal curry comb for cleaning your body brush out. If your horse is loosing its winter coat then you use a RUBBER curry comb to remove it in circular actions, you can also use a rubber curry comb for massaging your horse. If it is the winter and you have a grass kept horse/pony then you should never use a body brush 2 much because it removes the grease and oils from your horse that keeps it warm in the winter but you can still use it but not much. A body brush is fine 2 use in the summer because you will be removing the grease and oils to keep your pony/horse cool.

What is the max weight pony can carry?

The maximum weight for a pony is calculated using the same formula as for a horse. A horse or pony should never carry more than 20% of it's own body weight, this includes the rider and equipment. Remember that 20% is the upper limit, anything below that is better for the pony. As an example a 800 lb (362.8kg) pony can carry a maximum of 160 lbs (72.5 kg) in combined rider and equipment weight.


Is alfalfa good for horses?

Good quality hay can provide most of the nutrients a horse needs. Hay can be grass hay (ex. Timothy) or Legume, more commonly called Alfalfa. Legume hays are much higher in protein than grass hays, although, it should not be the only source of forage for young, growing horses, due to its high Phospherous level. Grass hay and Legume hay mixed is a great choice of forage, other than grass, for horses.

What does grassing a horse mean?

I've personally never heard the term 'to grass a horse'. However the term to 'putting a horse out to grass' or 'the horse is on grass' are widely used in the UK. I would assume therefore that it would be the same thing as those terms. A horse at grass means it is eating pasture grass and may or may not be supplemented with hay or hard feeds.

How fat can a person be to ride a horse?

A horse should never carry more than 20% of it's own body weight on it's back, this includes tack and anything else that may be put on the horse. To find out if you or another person is too heavy you can weight the person and the equipment. Then if you know the horse you can do the following math equation to see if they are within the safe weight range. Horses weight -80% = weight they can carry. If the weight of the person and equipment is over that number then they cannot ride the horse.
