Actually ignore all the rude answers.  This is a very good question because it allows you to learn a specific field of biology call classification.  You need to be able to identify unique species, and questions like these help teach people about the awareness of this speciality and how difficult it is for scientists to identify new life.  Some day when we travel to other planets, we'll have to classify new life forms to understand them better.\n\nTo answer your very good question:\n\nHorses and Zebras are very closely related.  They belong to the same Genus called Equus.  So they are more closely related to each other, than humans are to apes.\n\nThey are from different species which is the last classification you can use to differential different life forms.  There are three zebra species.  There is a Equus Zebra (mountain zebra), Equus quagga (plains zebra), and Equus grevyi (Grevy's Zebra).  The mountain and Grevy's Zebras are endangered.  Zebras are basically slower runners than horses, have more endurance, and have stripes.  Otherwise they are very similar to horses.\n\nHorses (domestic) belong to the species caballus.  They have longer legs and capable of faster running speeds.

These are general differences between monkeys and apes: \n\n1. apes have no tails\n2. apes have larger bodies and relatively larger brains \n3. apes have mobile, rotary shoulder joint which allows them to swing and hang from their arms (monkeys are quadrupeds that jump and run along the tops of branches or on the ground)\n 4. apes have wider torso and shorter, stiffer lumbar region

Hay and straw are both types of grasses.  Hay is its own plant, you actually grow hay.  Straw is not edible.  Horses can also eat grass, but its not the same thing as hay.

the stripes help camouflage them in a group - a predator will generally try to pick out one animal to attack - in a herd of moving zebra it is very difficult to distinguish one animal from the rest of the group

A zebra and a horse though distantly are cousins are of different mentality. A horse can be domesticated. 10 million people in africa and they do not ride zebras. The reason for this is because something in their genetic make up will not allow them to be captured and if by chance captured they will die in captivity.. They are made differently mentality wise.

No horses were native to the americas untill the spanish brought them to the new world,the reason native americans own horses was that they were decendants of strays or left by the spanish,and yes like many other indian tribes I believe seminoles had horses used for hunting and as tools for war against other tribes

nope... they have a difference level of chromosomes,\n\n\nthey more than liekly could try.. but the results would be more than likely dead and birth from physical problems such as no lungs, or no heart etc..\n\ndifferent animals have maanged to mate ouside thier chromosome levels, such as the donkey and horse, and the lion and tigers (Ligers).. normally these animals do not last a full age and have birth defects.

St. Peter smiled and said to the zebra, "Well then, that answers it.... you are a white horse with black stripes." The zebra questioned St.Peter further, "But, HOW do you know that?""Because,"said St. Peter, " You see, if you were a black horse with white stripes, God would have replied, "You is what you is..."

Ponies are breeds of horses that stand under 42 inches high at the withers (top of shoulder)as full grown adults. There are breeds of ponies: Shetlands, Chincoteague, Welsh, Hackney, etc. Ponies are NOT baby horses or baby anythings.

the actual skin beneath the fur of a zebra varies between animals, some may have all pink skin like ours, while others will have black, brown or white patches.  The fur is a separate entity all together from the skin.  This is quite common in equine species. growing up we had a registered appaloosa that was completely white (they are supposed to have spots), and she did, but they were on her skin, not in her fur. a zebras stripes are like a finger print, no two zebra have the same pattern, and their skin is much the same way. Its all in the genetics.

No even though where similar geneticly where not that close. I think the only species that can do that are a zebra/donkey and  donkey/horse

you got zebrinny(offspring of male horse and female zebra),zebrule(hybrid offspring of male zebra and female horse)zebu(ox with hump and dewlap)zemni(blind mole rat)zho(cross between yak and a cow),zizel(chipmunk)zonure(small south african lizard)zosterops(a small tropical bird)zumbador(south african humming bird).it was real learning for me too...answering this question..after listing all this i began thinking if getting all this was a kind of zoosophy or zoomania!!

Generally the faster and lighter horses. Sometimes thoroughbred mixes with arabians are used, as they are light and can run at fast speeds for a long time. I think there are more mixes than purebreds used in polo, but the only place I've really been in contact with polo is in Australia, which could be different from where you are.
