Answers:
a horse breeder would not be asking these questions,what you are asking is the sort of thing i would of expected from some one who knows nothing about horses.
DEAR GOD don't start breeding horses until you know ALOT more about horses. Try working at a stables and get some REAL experience.
i know nothing about horses. however, i will say... if you are breeding them, shouldnt you know all this stuff beforehand?
If you can't answer these questions, then you have NO right to be even thinking about breeding. I think you posted this before, and I gave you the same response, it just looks like you are posting one of those howrse.com things.
These appear to be Hworse questions, not sincere questions of a new breeder.
There is no law against asking petqna.com readers for your Howrse questions. Just say so outright, and anyone that is interested in helping you will. But it isn't exactly fair to pose as a breeder if that isn't your intentions. I mean, really, do you think that as a breeder you'd need to ask us about washing your saddle and how to curry comb your horse??!!
Please take everyone's advice!! You need to know alittle bit more about horses than you do now, before you start breeding horses.
Answers:
True
Reins
Under 4 years old
Doesn't have to be, but you probably should
Doesn't have to be in circular motions
Yes
Curry comb, hard brush, soft brush
Keep a safe distance (there are many other safety rules as well)
If you are a horse breeder, you really should know the answers to these questions. They are basic knowledge that any horse enthusiast should know.
i agree with the first person, for gawds sake dnt even own a horse! ur clearly not experianced enough, and u'll end up negletingthe poor thing, honestly read LOADS of books, get experiance by helpin out at a local stables n learn everythin u can, maybe a year or 2 later reconsider gettin a horse, honeslty i hate it when people go rushin into things without gettin knowledge of what their dealin with, yes i could answer ur questions, bt then go n find the anwer urself, what do u think google if for? plus u'll learn more by findin out youself. i'm not tryin to be horrible here bt it wud be rather stupid of u to even consider ownin a horse at the present time let alon breedin them! u have a lot of knowledge to gain, n lots of money required, i hope u no just how much a horse cost each year, let alone how much they cost to buy!
If you don't know the answers to those questions you have absolutely NO "business" being a "horse 'breeder'"!!!!
Your scaring the crap out of me if your a breeder. Please tell me your a teen on howrse.
1) true
2) the bit is connected to the reins aswell as the cheek peices
3) under the age of 4.
4) no it should be wiped down.
5) yes, it stimulates the skin muscle.
6) yes and they should be checked every roughly every 3month.
7) rubber curry, dandy, then soft brush.
8) theres way more than u have listed.
but i suppose its the keep a horses lengh.
those are the questions off of howrse, and most those those questions have nothing to do with horse breeding
take the horses health into consideraation DONT BREED THEM U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HORSEs
please, dont be a breeder if you dont even know these answers!
Well I am with the other person, dear god dont start breeding anything yet. you have a long way to go.
1. Feed a horse what it takes to maintain its weight. all horses are different. my 4-year-old 14.5 hand mare eats 1 or 2 three pound coffee cans of sweet feed and 2 or 3 good flakes of pasture mix hay. she stays fat on this, but all horses are different.
2. the bit is attached to the headstall and reins and chin strap.
3. Filly is 3 years and under, unless she has had a baby. Mare is 4 years or older unless she has had a baby before 4 years of age.
4. Real cowgirls and cowboys dont wash their saddles.
5. Curry combs, well they suck and they hurt a thin hided horse. use a regular horse brush, screw the curry comb.
6. Yes, they have dentists you need to let them see a dentist once a year or so, unless they develop problems otherwise.
7. WTF is a dandy brush. You brush your horse whatever way and using whatever works best for you and the horse.
8. It is like driving a car. if you are too close, you are gonna hit hit.
good luck.
1 - A horse's daily ration is mainly determined by its weight and the work it does.
It is also dependent on age. The AMOUNT is not as important as the proper nutrients. You can feed 6 lbs twice a day of the wrong feed...
2 - What is the bit directly attached to?
A bit is directly attached to the CHEEK pieces and the reins.
3 - A filly is a mare:
- A filly is a female horse under 4 years old.
- A MARE is a female horse OVER 4 years old.
4 - Does the saddle have to be washed after each use?
No, but it is recommended.
5 - Does the curry comb have to be used in circular movements?
- Generally that is how it is suppose to be used.
6 - Do horses have dentists?
Yes, called Equine Dentists.
7 - In what order must these brushes be used to groom a horse properly?
- Curry, dandy, soft (or finishing) brush
8 - What are the safety rules when riding a horse?
Keep a safety distance (one horse length) including side to side AND front to back.
It sounds like you dont know alot about horses. The questions you are asking are SOME of the basics but you need to know a lot more then just these questions. I would not start breeding until you familiarize yourself with the species more. They are big creatures and may not mean to hurt you but because of their size and nature, being flight animals, they can and will if they think the situation calls for it. Also, talk to other breeders first. It is not a "career" to be taken lightly.
