Horse Trivia

[Desert Arabian]

That's what I thought. Isn't it caused from eating too rich of grass also?

Nothing to do with topic:
I think the worst thing to witness is a horse having colic...that is not so pretty to see.

P.S. I would *love* to be quized on Lord of the Rings too (even tho it doesn't relate to horses. Well, Rohan does, it's home to the Horselords.)

[Desert Arabian]

I have some questions:

What is "thrush" & what part of the body does it effect?

Name 6 parts of a Western saddle, and 3 parts of the Western bridle.

How do you tell what hoof a shoe was on, by looking at it??

True or False: It is painful for a horse when it is getting shoed.
True or False: It is ok to ride a horse after it has thrown a shoe.

What are some poisonious (sp) plants to horses? Name at least 4.

That's all for now.

Take a look at this beauty. If you have $75,000 U.S. dollars you can buy him. What a beauty! Dutch Gelding-Imported

the points in a dressage arena are: small-c,g,m,b,f,x,d,a,k,e,h
large-c,g,i,x,l,d,a,k,v,e,s,h,m,r,b,p,f

i think everything else was right.

my answers for the other questions-thrush is an infection of the frog in the hoof,i think.western saddle-oh geez ummm...saddle horn,cinch,stirrups,uh i dont know.im not sure about the bridle.

It is not painful for a horse when it is getting shoed.I think.

you should not ride a horse when it has thrown a shoe.

laminitis is a swelling in the legs where the horse becomes sore,not having much to do with the stomach unless the horse eats too much and becomes overweight-a possinle cause of laminitis.

What are some poisonious (sp) plants to horses? Name at least 4.

New Question:
What is the breed of this drop dead amazingly beautiful horse

Small hint:It's name is two words. It comes from Europe.
Hard question to go w/picture: What two breeds were crossed to get this breed?

[HoRsELUvR]

im guessing...is it a Selle Francais?
poisonous plants-yew,oak,goldenchain,buttercup,ragwort,yorkshire fog.i guess thats enough

[Desert Arabian]

Breed: Nope, that is incorrect.

Poisonious plants: Correct, hemlock (tree), deadly nightshade, and Foxglove are some other bad plants too. Oak, never heard of it being poisonus (sp!!) to horses...that's news to me.


Horseluvr- you should post some questions.

[HoRsELUvR]

ok questions,questions...ok here we go.

name two types of roan.

name three snaffle bits.

how can you tell if your horse is cold after he has been turned out in winter?

Yellowlablover-i cant guess the breed.im not all that good at guessing breeds unless they're Appaloosas or something.what breed is it?im so clueless,i know.

[Desert Arabian]

That's ok...I'll leave it for someone else to answer.

I'll only answer one question, so others have a chance too.

Two types of Roan:
Red and Blue...I like blues better.

[HoRsELUvR]

yea ur right.ill wait for someone else to answer the other questions until i post new ones so i dont get annoying.

[Desert Arabian]

P.S. That picture is a picture of an Irish Sport Horse. I love the coloring of that ISH! I also like the ones in the background...beautiful!

[Desert Arabian]

I noticed she doesn't have a saddle pad on...that's bad.

[HoRsELUvR]

ow poor horsie!it is a really pretty horse though.just something im wondering-doesn't a horse get cold if it has a hunter clip in the middle of winter?

[Desert Arabian]

That's a good question..I'd have to ask my friend Laura about that...she clips hunters. HMMM...I think they might get a little chilly.

I'll give the answers to my questions nobody has answered:

Name six parts of the Western saddle. Name 3 parts of the Western bridle. Saddle: Rear housing, fenders, rear cinch billet, swells, pommel, concha. Bridle: curb strap, open-end reins, brow band.
How do you tell what hoof a shoe has been on by looking at it?
If it was on the left hoof, the right tread of the shoe would be more worn down. Visa-versa for the right hoof/shoe.

[zippy-kat]

That is really odd!!! NONE that I can see have saddle pads!! Perhaps they're black and cut to fit the saddle? I sure hope so...

Would hate to think of them not having ANY protection at all!!
