I have some horse questions to ask.?

-In indoor or outdoor riding schools, who has right of way?
-Can your horse travel by plane for a competition abroad?
-When born, foals don't have any hair.
-When you make a horse work on lunge fences, a bar is placed perpendicular to the fence by placing one end on the bar support located on the length side and the other on the ground:
-There is an equestrian discipline where you play in a team and use a ball. [Is there really?]
Please answer these truthfully.
Answers:
My experience is that in indoor or outdoor riding schools, students who are using the ring for lessons with a trainer have right-of-way over people just riding. If you are using the ring at the same time as a trainer and his/her student or students, you usually tell the trainer what you are going to do and ask if it will interfere with the lesson, and if not, you just keep out of the way.
When no trainer is using the ring for lessons, you look at what is going on and try to interfere as little as possible with other people. Courtesy demands that you treat other people the way you want to be treated: you tell others what you intend to do, and ask what they are doing, so you can stay out of each other's way; you do what you need to do and get out quickly so that others can use the ring; if your horse poses some sort of hazard to others (e.g., is especially fresh and may try to buck or bolt, is green or spooky), you let others in the ring know so they can watch out. If someone gets thrown, you pull up and stop on your horse until the situation is taken care of (i.e., loose horse caught, rider seen to be okay or tended to if injured). If someone in the ring seems green and inexperienced and what you are doing is causing them problems, you do whatever is necessary to assure their safety, including leaving the ring if necessary.
Use common sense, talk to other riders, work things out and don't do things that could cause someone else to get hurt.
Can horses travel by plane for a competion abroad? Absolutely, but that isn't cheap. Only the top international competitors travel abroad to compete.
When born, healthy normal foals have a furry, fluffy coat. Newborn foals, once dried, look like long-legged plush toys. Appearances are deceiving, however. Foals can get fractious and hard to handle. I have a series of pictures a friend took of me out in a pasture with an hours-old Arab foal, who approached me and decided to strike out at me with his forelegs. The pictures show me beating a hasty retreat.
With regards to the game you're talking about, of course there's polo; but there's also buzkashi, which isn't played with a ball...http://www.afghan-network.net/culture/bu...
ok i dont know all the answers but this is waht ti do know:
indoor riding schools are better if you live somewhear that gets really cold in the winter or extremly hot in the summer
and yes horses can travel by plane, train and boats
foals do have hair when they are born, but it is not the color that they will be, they shed it out as they grow and a new color emerges, it can be simlar or completly diffrent
and yes i beleive you are refering to polo. although their may be some other diciplins now that are new
In a riding arena, if two people are going opposite directions, they should pass each other just like they are driving a car (left shoulder to left shoulder), at least that's how we do it at every place I've ridden at in the U.S.
People can fly their horses places but it's quite expensive. To my knowledge they usually set up a special area in the cargo hold for them, but I'm not positive as I have only ever trailered horses, not flown them.
Foals are born completely covered in hair. They usually stay the color they are born, perhaps with a slight variation to the shade when they loose their baby fur. They only time they change colors is if the horse is a grey. A grey horse is born chestnut, black, or some other solid color except white. As they get older, they get lighter in color until they appear white. Some will retain very small amounts of color if they are a flea-bitten grey- it might look like freckles all over the body. A white horse is born white.
I'm not sure what you mean by the next part but what it sounds like is with a jumping fence someone has put rails along the side of it. These are sometimes put in place to help prevent a horse from running out and to encourage straightness to the fence.
There is a team sport that involves a ball, it's called polo. It's comparable to croquet on horseback, except there are goals, not little hoops that you hit the ball through. It's a fast paced game and can be a ton of fun.
Right of way is common sense. All riders should be going the same way to avoid collision.
Horses can and should travel by plane if using a knowledgable company, with the horses safety and comfort in mind.
Foals have hair, almost a down covering, it usually changes texture and color quickly after birth. Black babies ususlly turn grey and etc..
There are games all over the world where equestrian games use balls.
In indoor or outdoor riding schools the student that is in a lesson with a trainer has the right of way. although if you need to use a certain part of the ring you can always just be courteous and call where you are going. if there is no lesson going on then the most experienced rider has the right of way, but again as long as you call where you are going you should be fine.
It is possible for a horse to travel by plane, but it is expensive, and it might cause trauma to the horse if he has never done it before. i once knew a horse that became un rideable when he flew to germany for a competition.
when foals are born they do have hair. its more of a baby fuzz though.
yes you can put a pole to prevent the horse from going around the jump, but if the horse desnt try to avoid the jump the pole is not completely necessary. it wouldnt hurt to put one down though.
and yes there is a discipline where you play in a team and use a ball. its called polo.
Usually in a practice ring at a horse show, riders are NOT all going the same way, as they all are working on different aspects of performance. Usually the faster horses will be towards the inside of the arena, and they will pass that way, and riders walking or jogging their horses will likely be on the rail, and if they must pass someone in front of them will say so and then go around to the inside. (Inside being to the center of the arena, outside meaning the wall or fence)
I have never seen a newborn foal yet without hair, and I have witnessed one birth and seen other newborns.
Yes, I have seen lunge exercises done as you describe.
And the sport that I believe you are referring to is Polo, which is a very popular sport in England mainly, and to a limited extent in the U.S.
-In indoor or outdoor riding schools, who has right of way?
Always pass left shoulder to left shoulder when riding with others in the arena.
-Can your horse travel by plane for a competition abroad?
Yes. But you need a lot of paper work, and I believe that usually the horse must be quarintined after landing. Horses are usually given tranquilizer while on flights to make sure they stay calm, and easy to handle, flying can be very stressful for horses.
-When born, foals don't have any hair.
Yes they do, but when they get older they shed out their 'baby' hair and grow more course hair. Their manes and tails are kind of fluffy and soft when they are born.
-When you make a horse work on lunge fences, a bar is placed perpendicular to the fence by placing one end on the bar support located on the length side and the other on the ground:
Whats your question? yes this is true...
-There is an equestrian discipline where you play in a team and use a ball. [Is there really?]
Yes, Polo.
I'm sorry I dont know all the answer except a few. First there is an equestrian discipline. It's called polo. You have to to hit the ball with a stick. Also, baby horses are born with fur. I believe all mammals are. I think you could fly your horse but it would cost a lot of money and would take a big plane which would add on to the cost. Good luck in getting your questions answered :)
when passing someone in an arena always pass with your left shoulders together. it is just like driving cars in the US. yes a horse can travel by plane for a distant competition. it comes with heavy charges and the horse will need a passport and vet checks but it can be done. foals are born with hair and it is usually pretty curly.the bar is placed parallel that is on the ground. it is just to help the horse judge the distance of the jump and should be in front of the raised bar when going towards it. yes there is a discipline like this. it is called polo and is played all over the world. it isnt as common in the US as in other places, but it still exists.
hope i could help
It's usually left rein to left rein, but if someone is jumping they have the right away. They usually travel by car and trailer. Foals have hair when they are first born. Yes there is a discipline like that it's called polo.
Well, I don't know EXACTLY what you mean, but the person who goes the slowest stays on the rail, while the rider going fastest goes on the inside.
I don't beleive that a horse can travel by plane.
Foals do have hair when they are born, though at times, it may be just a small amount.
I don't think so.
I don't think that is actually a dicipline like that, but I GUESS people can play it.
