*HORSE TRIVIA*

[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.

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?

[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. My mom and I travel a lot to see mule shows- they sure are fun- sometimes more entertaining than horse shows!!

-Bump?-

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!

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.
