*HORSE TRIVIA*

[Desert Arabian]

It has been a *looooong* time since I last had a horse trivia thread up and running, I thought it would be fun to bring it back again. How to play: someone posts a question, people answer the question, whoever gets it right is the next to post. No more than 3 questions per post. Must get all of them right in order to post new questions. Simple. Have fun!

First question:

* Name one Arabian stallion that created the Thoroughbred.

Second question:

* Name 4 parts of the hoof.

[animal_rescue]

*famous arabian- The Darley Arabian?


*parts of the hoof- wall, frog, heel, and sole.

2. Bars
3. Sole
4. White Line
5. Hoof Wall
6. Bulbs
7. Toe
8. Quarter
9. Heel

Most live up to 25 years, but some live longer;)

second question- What movie was made about a horse's life?

Black Beauty

[animal_rescue]

yep both are right most horses live 25-30 years and the movie was Black Beauty!

[Lexi_Lover]

Yay! Ok so here are some more questions:D

*Question #1*
Who was the foundation sire of the Tennessee Walking Horse?(spl?)

*Question #2*

These are very easy, LOL, I couldn't think of anything else this fast;)

[animal_rescue]

*Question #2*

Question 1 How old did the oldest horse live?

Question 2 Who was that horse?

[animal_rescue]

right, your turn

[Lexi_Lover]

I think you're supposed to wait until I tell you if the answers are correct;)But yes, those were right.

[Desert Arabian]

QUESTION: What happens to a horse if its teeth are not floated?
QUESTION: What do you get if you cross a MALE donkey and FEMALE horse?

[Suki Wingy]

1. they cauze extreem discomfort, and make is so the horse can't eat.
2. a hinny
EDIT: A Donkey!

[Desert Arabian]

Yep, you got the floating question right. Some of the teeth can grow sharp hooks which cuts up the horses mouth and tonuge. They eventually will not be able to chew leading to starvation/hunger.

Question 2 still needs to be answered correctly though. :o

[Suki Wingy]

I thought I got it right, I corrected my self before you replied. I just looked it up:
Mule: the hybrid offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare).

Hinny: the hybrid offspring of a male horse (stallion) and a female donkey (jenny). Not nearly as common as the mule.

[Desert Arabian]

Yep, it would make a mule. :p

Mules and Hinnys are different. Donkeys and mules are different.

Ok, you can post a question/s now.

[Suki Wingy]

OOPS! Now you know how weird I am! I only realised that it didn't say mule after I read your post, even though I read and re-read mine, I just read what I thought it was. ok:
1. A Kentucky Derby winner who was then later sold to a foreighn slaughter house
2. What is a name for comptitize games played on horseback?

1.)Ferdinand, shipped to Japan
2.) I don't really understand the wording. Would polo be acceptable, since that's a game on horseback? Or were you looking for something different? :confused:

[Suki Wingy]

sorry, I meant a series of competitive games played on horseback and I was not thinking of polo, but polo is vey fun to watch!;)

Aww, that's cool. Post pictures if you can!! I love longears, hopefully sometime down the road I will have a nice big draft mule, or even a mammoth jack would be nice. :p My mom and I travel a lot to see mule shows- they sure are fun- sometimes more entertaining than horse shows!!

2.A series of competitive games played on horseback.

3-day eventing?

[Lexi_Lover]

-Bump?-:confused:

[Lexi_Lover]

I don't think you are gonna come, so I'll just post some more questions anyways:

1-Why is it good to wear a leather halter in a trailer?

2-How many types of arabians are there?

[Desert Arabian]

Leather halters will break easier than a nylon/cotton halter, it will not cause burning either from friction.

There are a lot of arabians such as Spanish, Egyptian, Crabbet, French Anglo, Shagya, Persian, and Gidran

[Lexi_Lover]

Yup, those were really easy, LOL! :D

[Desert Arabian]

New Questions:

- Why shouldn't hay be placed on sand?
- What are some negative effects shoes have on horses?

Just a guess but it sounds like she was thinking of gymkhana ("playdays"). I agree though, with the wording, it could have many different answers.

[Suki Wingy]

yes, I was thinking of gymkhanas.
