    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?
    Name two types of American breeds.
    Name 4 types of saddles.
    Name one (each) hot, warm, and cold blooded horse.

    Someone else- put your questions on the board.

    I will answer some questions.
    The two types of paint horse coloring are
    tobiano
    and overo

    I got these from a paint horse website, I love paint horses!

    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?

    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....

    I was taught that "paint" is a color, and "pinto" is a breed.

    Yes Delidog you are right.
    Do you know the founding horse's real name even though he was often called by his owner Justin Morgan's name too?
    And do you know what state the horse was born in, it's not Vermont.

    Delidog, between the two of us we answered all of YLL's questions.

    Here are a couple of answers, the 3 Olympic riding disciplines are
    Dressage, Show Jumping and Eventing. I love to watch the Olympic equestrian events!

    Secretariat won by an amazing 31 lengths- an all time record!

    Delidog, you are close, it's another nearby state.The horse's name starts with an "F" if that helps.

    I had to do a search to find out the info on Secretariat and it had that great photo where I found the info.

    Yes the original Morgan Horse was born in Springfield, Mass. in 1789. Keep trying on the name.
