Horse Trivia

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.

New questions:
Name two types of paints. (hint: ones starts with "t".)
What is the difference between a Paint and a Pinto?

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:
