A horse's mane can also be a part of a road, as some roads are named after physical features, such as "Main Street" or "Mane Street."
Horse's should not be fed protein that is derived from other animals. The eggs can also contain Salmonella among other bacteria. The only benefit it would give is a shiny coat, for which there are many equine safe coat supplements on the market today.
I had always thought that the phrase "horse of a different color" originated in 1939 and became a part of pop culture when "Dorothy" on THE WIZARD OF OZ went to Oz and was shocked as she saw the horse pulling her carriage chance colors.
A horse testicle is a male reproductive organ that produces sperm and testosterone. The testicles are responsible for producing sperm cells for reproduction and are also the primary source of testosterone, the hormone responsible for male sexual characteristics and behaviors.
What is absolutely required changes depending on the governmental body running the competition, but there are some basic recommendations for all horses in the US concerning vaccination. Core vaccines recommended for all horses in the US by the American Association of Equine Practitioners are: Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, West Nile Virus, Tetanus and Rabies. But even the recommendations for these "core vaccines" vary based upon exact geographic location, health status of the horse, previous adverse reaction to vaccination, etc. Then beyond even those core vaccines are "risk-based vaccines" that are recommended based upon the risk factors that vary from horse to horse: age, living situation, geographic location and use. Risk-based vaccinations include: Influenza, Equine Herpes Virus 1&4, Botulism, Strangles, Equine Viral Arteritis, etc. Competition would definitely be a risk-factor for Influenza and EHV-1 & 4 and possibly even Strangles, but again age, type of vaccine used, etc are all going to play a part in what risk-based vaccinations should be given and how often. Because there there is no one-size-fits-all vaccination schedule for horses, horse owners should always contact their vet to determine what is recommended for their exact situation. And check every year to be sure that there have not been changes to the recommendations because veterinary medicine is a continually changing field...we learn more everyday and thus changes in recommendations occur frequently
Chestnut. Is is a brown color that ranges from light golden brown to a deep redish brown, with points of the same color or lighter. It is also a hard, sometimes flaky part on the inside of the front legs, above the knee.
Well, they are two different breeds, just like a pony is different from a horse, but they are both a part of the equine species, so a zebra is like a horse, but not exactly the same. Also in the equine species is draft horses, donkeys, and mules.
yes all three are part of the equine family

No, a horse is part of the equine "family", while a cow (female, and bull being male) is from the bovine "family". In this context, family can be considered to be the species.
Currently the job outlook for equine veterinarians is fair - there are fewer horse owners who can afford less medical care for their animals due to the Great Recession. However, horse racing and other equine sports are still very popular and most horse owners can and will pay for proper medical care. The most challenging part is that an equine vet makes most of his pay working for loyal clients - without a dedicated client base an equine vet will be scraping for work.
For the most part, horse colostrum is not commercially available. I would suggest checking with your equine veterinarian to see if there is a colostrum bank that you could purchase some from.
It depends on what color you like the most. The above answer is correct, but I would also like to state that a horses color is the least important part of it. You should first look at the horse and see if it has good conformation, a nice temperament, and can do the job you want it to do. Color is always the last thing you should look at.
You can buy one from Bob's shop or if you work part-time for Bob enough times Bob will give you a horse for free. If you buy a horse it is always the same color. If you work part-time you will get the horse you gave the most attention to no matter what color it is.
No, typically you cannot get funds to do it, However you may be able to ask the equine vet to allow you to make payments for the procedure, though it is unlikely that they will allow this. If Euthanizing the horse by Phenobarbital is financially unfeasible, then you may have to consider getting someone to shoot the horse for you. The person who does this should know exactly what they are doing or have a equine veterinarians guidance during the event.
Hmmm. Maybe in a legend, but Pegasuses are not real, so it can't be entirely true. The other part, unfortunately, could be possible. :(
