*HoRsE TrIvIa*

I thought it would be fun to bring back "horse trivia". I did one a long time ago in Pet General and it went pretty good. I thought I would put it in "general" because more people look in "general" than "pet general" I've noticed. The last thread I think was almost 50 pages!! :eek: Wonder if we can beat that!?!?

It's pretty basic...post a question dealing with horse breeds, horse care, etc. A person will try to answer the question, if they get it correct it is their turn to post a question, if they are wrong than other people can have a chance to answer it.

Sound fun!? Ok..let's start! :D

1) A pot belly, weight loss, and a thick curly coat that refuses to shed is a sign of what?

is it worms? or some other kind of intesinal parisite?
BTW i LOVE your sig! it's so cool!!!!

Nope, it's a certain disease.

Thanks. :D

Cushing's Disease? Just a wild guess T-T I think it has something to do with the shedding and pot belly anyway hah..

Yep, post a question, Slleipnir. :D

This is probably easy but I can't think of any..

Which breed has two unique features such as the hooded-eye and the snow-chute?

I hope those are ok, I will post a question right away since you said you will be away for a while.

True or False: A mule can reproduce.

False

I'm not YLL, but you're right, mules cannot reproduce. I think there are some very rare cases of it, but I am not sure of the validity of those claims.

I have a tough question: What color is sometimes claimed to be a real horse color, but in reality no horse has ever been proven to actually be this color?

Yep, they can't reproduce.

Answer: White/Albino!?!? *bites fingernails*

Yes! I thought that one would be harder.

Why did I miss my turn..I answered first ;)

Because I don't know how to play the game! :rolleyes:

Sorry.

plus I had that cool question that I was dying to ask. :D

:p :rolleyes:
