new questions: name two types of jumps.
name 3 breeds of ponies.
My question is yet to be answered: What is a "glass eye"??
Two types of jumps: Double-Oxer and Cavaletti.
3 Breeds of Ponies: Hackney, Haflinger, Dartmoor.
A glass eye...can also be referred to as a watch eye...they are blue....with what looks like a small iris...almost like a human...the blue of the eye is surrounded by white....you see them in horses of lighter pigmantation...I.E. appaloosas'...any albino horse.....
chestnuts also get them alot......
they basically look like a blue eye on a husky dog or an australian shepherd.....
hence the name:
Glass Eye
Now that all the other questions are answered,someone post some more cuz its getting hard to think of questions!:)
I suppose I can post some questions.
What does it mean when a horse is "round"? (Think jumping)
Name 5 breeds of Draft horses.
What type of animal makes a wonderful stall companion for a horse? (Think small)
Why do horses crib?
Name 3 types of bits.
What does this mean "above the bit"?
*sorry if any are re-peats.
That should do for now. :D
A Horse is "Round" when he is over collecting...I.e. Too "rounded " to see the jump.....bending from 3 rd and 4th vertabrae.....
unless you are referring to his bascule in the air....the apex that is them at the top of the jump....
Percheron,shire,clydesdale,belgian draft,
Stall companion...goat
Horses begin to crib out of boredom....it quickly turns into a very nasty habit...with ill effects
Bits... snaffle,pelham,kimberwicke,elevator,gag
"above the bit"....or "above the bridle???" i would guess that you mean the same...
above the bit...raising head too high too avoid contact...sit quietly,using the lower part of your legs,the back of your calves...drive him forward into the bit...or bridle as we say.....practice your bending and flexing to make him accept more.....
slap a standing martingale on him...perhaps a bit that occupies his interest more....
however, if your horse has his tongue...above the bit....get of...they have no feeling under their tongue....you have no brakes if that were to happen
Yuppers, you're right.

Two types of American breeds are Quarter Horse and Morgan Horse.
And for a new question or two
Who is the founder of the Morgan horse breed? What was his name and his horses name?
What state was that founding horse born in and what state was that founding horse buried in?
O.K....I'm confused...i would say skubald and piebald....brn./wht.,blk./wht.
are you saying...Tricolor?????
a Paint is a Quarter Horse with color above the knee...pinto is a color description
Quarter Horse...Morgan Horse
English,western,dressage,racing
Hot horse...thoroughbred,warm blood...selle francaise...or dutch warmblood....trakehener,oldenberg,hanoverian,etc.. ...
cold blood...any cart horse...clydesdale,percheron,etc...
lets' see....I know i can think of some questions somehow....
That would be Justin Morgan...I believe that hes' buried in vermont....
I was taught that "paint" is a color, and "pinto" is a breed. :confused: :confused:Quote:

Yes Delidog you are right.
Do you know the founding horse's real name even though he was often called by his owner Justin Morgan's name too?
And do you know what state the horse was born in, it's not Vermont.

Actually, YLL..If you are in Wisconsin...you should remember the Great " Ruxton"....the winningest hunter of all time...retired the working trophy at N.y. with Charlie Weaver...Ellen Van Dyke bought him...he stayed at the Cheskas farm until he died...

Secretariat won by an amazing 31 lengths- an all time record!http://equinenet.org/heroes/1973secretariat.gif
Delidog, you are close, it's another nearby state.;)The horse's name starts with an "F" if that helps.:)
Great Secretariat shot!!!!!!!
I still get chills thinking about that race!!!!that was a win for all time!!!!!!!!
O.k. I'll try Mass.???????
Begins with "F".....Ouch...can you hear my head pounding????
Fury?????
I had to do a search to find out the info on Secretariat and it had that great photo where I found the info.
Yes the original Morgan Horse was born in Springfield, Mass. in 1789. Keep trying on the name.;)
Frank????
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.
wow im confused:o :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
lol;)
umm...lemme think of some questions.
What does flaxen mean?
What is the only color that Friesans can be?
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?????
do you want me to answer them?????
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.;)
The Trakehner came from Poland.

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)
Oh and I do hope that you start riding agin...you are in a beautiful area for it...
we used to show at that whole circuit up there in the summer...2 weeks in lake placid..first two of july...then on to killington,and another showground in Vt....oh yeah...Sugarbush....with a 3 day stint at Attitash,N.H. for a Grand Prix!!!!!
Then back down to Southampton and Rhode Island...for the Derby...
How I miss it now!!!!!!!!!!!;) :)
-just found this now- Looks interesting :D
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.:D
Signs of poor conformation: long/weak back structure, hooves turned in/out, loins show a lot of slack, weak quarters.

Bump up!!
C'mon, someone answer some questions...please!! :D
YLL, I did answer a couple of your questions above already. I will try a couple more.
I already said Palomino was one of the color breeds, is the other Pinto or Albino?
I will guess at the two breeds used during WWII, are they Quarter Horses and Morgans?
How about a couple of new questions.
Two bad horse habits are Cribbing and Weaving,
what are they and why do the horses do them?
What area of the US did the Appaloosa breed originate in?(name the state or states if you know)
What people originated the Appaloosa breed?
Name 3 different coat patterns of the Appaloosa breed.
What breed is the oldest pure breed in the world?
YLL, if no one else answers your other questions maybe you should give the answers.
Okerdokers...the answers are:

Hooded Well Gig, Cocking Cart, Irish Jaunting Car

Guesses for Vertmontcats Q's:
What area of the US did the Appaloosa breed originate in? Oregon
Name 3 different coat patterns of the Appaloosa breed.
Leopard, blanket, snowflake (and frost)
What people originated the Appaloosa breed?
Nez Perce Indians
What breed is the oldest pure breed in the world?
I'm guessing the Pzerwalkski's (sp!!) horse from Mongolia!!??
Cribbing is when horses grab a fence post or something with their teeth and suck wind.Weaving is when a horse moves its head from side to side.Horses do these things when they are bored and such behaviours are called vices. Sorry I just had to babble a little.:D
Horseluvr, you are exactly right with your answers.:)
YLL, it sounds like you know your Appys!
I was looking for the NW US area of Washington, Oregon and Idaho, the Palouse Valley area. You were right about the coat markings and the Nez Perce Indians.
I meant the oldest domestic horse breed, one that would have papers rather than the wild horses. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. Anyone want to guess again?
YLL, thanks for posting the answers to you questions, I wasn't sure about any of the cart names.
Oh, ok...I thought that's what you meant, but I wasn't sure.Quote:
