what is the difference between a filly and a mare?
478333
A filly becomes a mare at 5 years of age, the same way a colt is referred to as a horse at age 5.

It really depends on the horse, is it purebread? who's selling it, private party? are they poor/rich? like, can they afford to let it go cheap, or do they need the money? Horses can run anywhere from $800-$5000. how much do you have to spend? I think if you make an offer tagged with "this is all i have" and explain how badly you want this horse and how timid she is and how she only lets you ride her, then I think that you will win them over! good luck!

not sure exactly what you are asking but,a miniature horse is a domestic breed of horse,originated i beleive by taking bred down Arabians and thoroughbreds and sticking a few other breeds in there until they got the miniature horse

mares really don't do a whole lot after a fole is born.  Her primary duty is to feed the baby, that's about it, everything else the baby is on his/her own...

I have to say it is the basic fight or flight instinct.  Horses are built more for the flight, they are good at it.  When a horse gets spooked, it will bolt.  TB's are bred down for their speed and stamina.  This selective breeding produces horses that are easily trained to break from a gait and race away.  The jockey may signal a horse that things are okay and the horse will hold back, then the jockey tenses and asks the horse for more speed, the horse senses this as a need to run away faster.  Jockeys race toward the finish line, horses run away from something.  If the horse injures itself, the thing it thinks it is running from is still there.  In nature the weak or injured are the ones who get eaten.

Is it dressage????\nDressage is a competitive event where the horse and rider are judged on the elegance, precision, and discipline of the horses movements. The horse is trained to carry out a series of precise controlled movements in response to minimal signals from its rider.

It depends on what you're going to use the horse for.  Thoroughbreds as a breed are the most athletic horses, and are great for hunter/jumper competitions.  They can be very good dressage horses, but because of their "hot" temperaments, they need a lot of patient work.  Also, if the Thoroughbred you're contemplating buying is a former racehorse, he/she may have soundness problems ranging from cracked or chipped bones to arthritis to torn ligaments or tendons.  Some of these things can be worked around, but some can't.  \n\nThe Thoroughbreds that I've known as riding horses have ranged from absolutely superb to borderline dangerous.  A lot depends on the quality of the training (or re-training, in the case of ex-racehorses) that they've had.  \n\nTo a very large degree, the kind of horse you want to have depends on what you want to do with it.  A good way to get an idea of the kind of horse you want is to look at horses that are doing what you want your horse to do, and see what kinds do well.\n\nA word to the wise:  a Thoroughbred can be a lot of horse to handle.  One of the quickest ways to get hurt, and hurt badly, around horses is to buy more horse than you can handle.  Horses absolutely do not care how well you think of your horsemanship skills.  A person can lie to other people and lie to themselves about how well they can handle a horse, but they can't lie to the horse.  Know your skill level and be honest about it when you're looking for a horse.  The most dangerous combination, an accident waiting to happen, is the unwary novice on a horse that's too much for his/her level of skill.

A shire horse (or any other "heavy horse" breed) can weigh up to 2,000lbs.  The average racehorse can weigh up to 1,500lbs, dependent on how tall the horse is.\n\nShire's range in size from 16 to 18 hands (although taller ones have been recorded), and thoroughbreds from as small as 14 hands up to about 17 hands.

I'm not positive on this, but I would guess its because some horses require more heat than others. Lets say that you had one horse that had very thick, long hair during the winter and you had another breed that didn't. Maybe the breed with the thick, long hair had to adapt to your climate.

I have seen fantasy authors use Pegasus-like horses as a race of immortals, but they were simply called winged horses, although I think the author, Tamora Pierce, used another word that she made up for them, too, or she may have used pegasus, too.  I can't remember.  The best book of hers to find the words would probably be Trickster's Queen, if you're up for reading.\n\nBeyond that, although in legend Pegasus was unique, you could probably use Pegasi, as that would be the appropriate Latin way of pluralizing it.

hinny\n\nA hinny is the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey (jennet or jenny). They are rarer than mules, which are the offspring of a male donkey (jackass or jack) and a female horse. Like the mule, the hinny is almost always sterile.\n\nSimilarities between hinnies and mules:\n\nHinnies are similar to mules in that they are generally more intelligent than horses, and more cooperative than donkeys. Both are also healthier and less expensive to feed and maintain than horses. This is a trait these hybrids get from their donkey heritage. The donkey is a notoriously hardy creature that, in the wild, survives on a harsh diet in a desert environment. Hinnies, like mules, also get their ability to work hard in harsh conditions from the donkey, especially in high temperatures. \n\nmore about this here:

Horse heigh is measured in "hands"\n\nA "Hand" is a unit of measure equal to 4 inches, used to measure the height of a horse at the highest point of the withers. The number of whole hands is properly followed by a period, then the remaining height in inches. Thus a horse who measures 5 feet and two inches at the withers would be designated "15.2 hands". \n\nFrom the following image ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Horse_parts.jpg ) you can see that the withers are just at the base of the horse's neck.\n\nThe size of horses varies, depending on the breed. The cutoff in height between what is considered a horse and a pony is generally 14.2 hands, though some smaller horse breeds are considered "horses" regardless of height. Light horses such as Arabians, Morgans, Quarter Horses, Paints and Thoroughbreds usually range in height from 14.0 to 17.0 hands and can weigh up to 1300lbs. Heavy or draft horses such as the Clydesdale, Belgian, Percheron, and Shire are usually at least 16.0 hands tall and can weigh up to 2000lbs. Ponies are no taller than 14.2 hands, but can be much smaller, down to the miniature horse, which can be the size of a large dog.

"Lauren's Charm, 4-year-old filly making 18th start, first since Dec. 2, set pace along rail to far turn when she suddenly lost action, backed up quickly, was taken outside and eased by Fernando Jara when she collapsed and died, likely from a heart attack or aneurysm." \n\nJust more info on the horse, she was involved in a paddock accident, also at Belmont, in 2004 in which she broke Jose Santos's arm.
