    Delidog, no it's not like a person's name. If you want more help I can post a link to the Morgan website.

    I will try to answer one more of your questions.
    The difference between a body clip, hunter clip and trace clip are
    A hunter clip is all short hair except for the legs and under the saddle. A trace clip is only the bottom half of the horse's body is clipped, not the legs either. And I am not sure but is the body clip like the blanket clip that has all short hair except for a rectangular shape where the blanket would cover the horse.

    Flaxen is a term commonly used for sorrel chestnuts- meaning their mane and tail are lighter than the body color.

    Friesians can only be black.

    What country did the Trakehner come from?
    What country did the Gelderlander come from?
    Horses usually stand between ___hh and ___hh.
    Draft horses usually stand between ___hh and ___hh.
    Why do most draft breeds have docked (or cut short) tails?

    That's good for now.

    O.K...I have to look up that Morgans' name...sorry...memory is failing!!!!

    Trakhener came from Germany
    Gelderlander...Holland
    Horses stand from 14.3 to20.0 hands high...not sure of the tallest on record
    Drafts...17hands to 20 hands..
    their tails are docked so they don't get caught in the cart mechanisms,wheels etc......


    Vermontcta....yes on the clips except for the body clip...in a body clip...the Whole horse is clipped....ear to tail...floor to ceiling so to speak!!!

    any more answers for me,anybody?????

    Ok Delidog, did you FIGURE out what the original Morgan horse's name is yet?

    Maybe you should give the answers to your other questions.
    I am a bit rusty on the Olympic info since we are between Olympics right now. I remember something about the pony, maybe in the last summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia?
    I can't remember the rider. Did the Americans win a medal that year?
    About the long lining/longing which one is done in a round pen to help the horse bend correctly? I'm pretty lost there. But hey I tried.
    RIP sweet Samantha

    can you name the ONLY PONY ever to win an olympic medal????
    can you name their rider
    can you name the year of that olympic game...and the city????

    how did the americans place that year????

    o.k. lets see...
    what is the difference between long lining and longing????
    what is each of their purpose???

    ANSWERS:

    The only Pony to win an Olymic medal was the Great Stroller..he won the Individual Silver in 1968 Mexico City Games...He was ridden and owned by Marion Coakes-Mould of Great Britain...
    He won in Shpw Jumping....He stood 14.2...the Jumps were bigger than him.....Great Horse....

    The First Individual Gold Medal That the U.S. ever won in Show Jumping was won that year by Bill Steinkraus and the Legendary Snowbound......Groom was Ronnie Silcox

    The Next Gold for the U.S.was won by Joe Fargis and the Magnificent Touch of Class...a 15.2 thoroughbred mare....in 1984 Los Angeles.... groom was Noelle...( can't recall her last name)

    longeing is used for SOOO many reasons...and is of course the most popular....young horses to learn voice commands...and to saddle break them....

    to get the Fizzies out of an older horse when feeling fresh....

    to soften and supple a horse...so the rider has to spend less time doing so...

    yes, people do use round pens for this...though except for a young horse...or a real rank s.o.b. it isn't necessary...

    Long Lining is used for many reasons also...the key is that the horse is worked primarily in straight lines with groundperson behind the horse...instead of at the shoulder....

    people use it to teach horses how to Drive...

    also for softening and suppling...as 9 out of ten...you would use a bitted head piece...

    also people use it for soundness...longeing...you are forcing the horse to work in basically a 20 ft. circle....in one direction or the other...unless you are walking with them in a larger circumference...

    Long lining...you can work in a straight line,turn and bend,as if you are riding them.....


    let me try to come up with some more for you guys....

    Vermont cat!!!!!Yeah...Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Keep it up!!

    First a few answers for YLL,
    A couple of leg markings are socks and stockings.
    5 facial markings are star, strip, snip, blaze and bald face.
    A horses teeth are floated but I'm not sure how often.
    One color breed I know for sure is the Palomino.

    Delidog, you are making my brain hurt, all this info is coming back to me.
    I am getting the itch to ride again but I have to wait until all this snow melts!(no indoor ring where I ride)

    some answers for YLL-3 signs of poor conformation-legs turned in,legs turned out,one hind leg behind the other.

    10 points of a horse-poll, dock,withers, loins,croup,flank,stifle,hock,shoulder,knee. I think those are points anyway.

    Signs of poor conformation: long/weak back structure, hooves turned in/out, loins show a lot of slack, weak quarters.

    Anyone else wanna answer the questions??
