rough board is when the barn that your boarding doesn't do evrything
partial rough board would be doing something to take care of your horse, like cleaning, feeding, turning in/out and/or giving water
total rough board is doing all of those things
If the Conestoga wagon was fully loaded with 12,000 pounds, adding the 3,000 lb wagon would make a total load of 15,000 pounds. You would need 10 horses on a flat road; 14 horses on a rough, slightly sloped road.
Yes, some horses can woodsuck when they are bord. Not all horses do though, it's kinda like the human equivalent of biting your nails. It's obviously not good for the horses too! Woodsucking is definatley something horses do when they are bord, sitting in a stall.
Horseshoes keep horses' hooves protected from pointy rocks and other stuff!
The number of horses that 500 acres can support will depend on factors such as soil quality, climate, and management practices. As a rough estimate, 500 acres of good pasture land could support around 50-100 horses. It is important to work with a local agricultural extension office or equine nutritionist to determine the carrying capacity of your specific land.
Cattle and horses usually have different fencing. Most cattle are fenced with barb wire or board fences or sometimes a combination of the two. Horses on the other hand need different fencing. The best for horses is wood or metal posts with a "no climb" wire so frisky horses can't get a hoof through the fence and mangle themselves. Although a 3 or 4 rail board fence looks attractive, a lot of horses will eat their way out of it in record time. Even horses that are well fed will chew a wood fence. The new PVC fencing is safe and non-edible but very expensive. Another alternative is galvanized pipe corral fencing. Its strong, attractive and expensive but lasts much longer than a wood fence. If you put horses in pipe corral fencing it is still a good idea to put the "no climb" wire on the inside. Horses can get a foot or even a head through the pipe corral and once again mangle themselves.
they are rough but smooth

yep! horses
Yes, some Air Force bases do board horses. Check with the base MWR office to find out for sure.
It really depends on the horse, his/her mood, and his/her training.
You can board horses at Golden Gate Fields in Northern California. You would first have to submit a stall application in order to be considered.

In domestication horses need their hooves trimmed to keep them a proper shape to avoid lameness. In the wild horses 'trim' their own hooves by walking on rough ground which wears them down.
if they are walking on a rough terrain then they will need horseshoes. these can be put on by a farrier.
the coat can be shiny and multiple different colors, it can be dirty, or rough or soft.
Mechanical weathering, as sanding physically breaks down the rough surfaces of the board without altering its chemical composition.
