hey i just saw this but wanna join in, whens the next one lol!?
As soon as Toby's Mommy comes back and replies to Slleipnir, which will probably be a long time. If it takes too long, someone else can post a question for you. :D
Ok, the wait again is too long, Slleipnir, since you answered it you can post a question now. :)
I again can't think of any questions T-T sorry, someone take my turn
Describe Strangles (what is it, what does it to do the horse, what are the signs of strangles, etc.)
In Memory of Rocky the mustang & Jumbo the lippazaner- who died from strangles. :(
An infectious disease. Pus discharges from nose and swells lymph glands by the jaw.It can give them fever and they could stop eatting and stuff..It's not usually fatal.....
Yep. Your turn! :D
Just want to add:
It can be very fatal to horses, because the lymph nodes can get so large that they "strangle" (hense the name) and suffocate the horse by pressing on the pharynx. It can also spread down to the thorax and abdomen, and when the lymph nodes burst, the horses can die. Strangles is EXTREMELY contageous to other horses, if one horse has it, the whole herd will get it if the infected horse is not isolated and treated.
Sorry I can't think of good questions..I g2g to bed now so I'll only be on for a few mins..
What is Stringhalt? Symptoms? Causes?
Stringhalt is an over flexation in the hock, the cause is unknown but it is thought to be caused by deteriorating nerves. When they walk they jerk their leg up really hard, sometimes kicking their belly.
Yup :)
Sorry it took me forever to respond, some one should have taken my place!
Hmm, on the topic of health issues....
What's CID? What breed gets it? What does it do to the foal?
Come on! I know someone out there knows what CID is! :p
Combinded Immunde Deficiency? Arabians get it. Not really sure what it does actually o_O It's some type of infection I guess that kills them
Yep, it occurs in Arabian and Half-Arabian foals. There are a shortage of lymphocytes (sp!?) in the blood, which basically shuts down their immune system and they do not respond to vaccines/immunizations. The foals get really ill, mainly with pneumonia, the foals dont survive.
:(
Your turn!! :D
Ah.
I'm going to be gone all weekend - leaving in like 5 mins so someone take my turn..or you'll be waiting a while haha XD
Alrighty........
Name the important factor a foal needs from its mother after birth & state why it is needed.
the last blood (from the umbilical cord), it gives it the nutrients to ward off diseases/illnesses.
you can go next :-)
ok...umm...lets see...ok heres one
(this is easy, but im tired)
what is the smallest horse?
Falabellas are the smallest breed
yep, they're bodies resemble more like horses, then ponies. :D
apcrs, your turn now! :D
bump XD
alright whos doing the next one?
Snuggles feel free. Aprcs isn't around to take her turn, she'll have to go later. :)
name all the colors of the american quarter horse, catergorize dilutes & dense colors :-)
There are 3 basic colors: Black, Chestnut, and Bay. Of course there are different variations of chestnut like liver chestnut, sorrel and variations of bay like sandy bay, bright bay, and blood bay. Dun, cream, grulla, palomino, dapple, buckskin, cremello, and perlino are dilute colors. Patters can be overo, tobiano, tovero, sabino, rabicano, and many appy patterns (blanket, leopard, etc).
ok great! I love the cremellos, only they are a bit rare in my area & out of my dream horse price range...
Eh, I don't care for cremellos too much. :p :o
Um, let's see, a question...or dear...all I have are easy ones! :p
What's a Welara, Quarab, Morab, and Pintabian?
well im not sure what a Welara is, but im gonna guess a Welsh Pony/Arabian
Quarter Horse + Arabian = Quarab
Morgan + Arabian = Morab
Pinto + Arabian = Pintabian
all are crossbreeds of arabian.
just a guess :)
Yep!
C'mon CokerLuva, otherwise someone will take your turn! ;)
Ok, a question...well, actually, guess this breed:
