It depends on the horse, and the training...Any horse can be Harmful but some are Docile others are spooks..Just like dogs..They are all different..I Love Arabians but have met some flighty ones..Have met some gentle easy ones too...

Hmm. Maybe they do, but I'd be nervous to be a horse.  It seems like the recommended remedy for a long list of horse ailments is to shoot the horse in the head.

To be honest, I have seen stuff on comedy shows, documentaries, evening news, etc. that showed female (and, occasionally male) broadcasters being sexually harrased (i.e. attempt at mounting, humping, and even ejaculating) by bulls, ortriches, camels, llamas, orangutans, chimpanzees, zebras, donkeys, horses, dogs, goats, etc. Pretty much any animal in heat that saw itself as big enough to give it a shot with a human. Disgusting, but it is how it is.

Where did you hear this?  You may have misheard it.  There are a lot of "horse idioms" but nothing like you describe.  Perhaps it is "Wild horses would not play tag on tender hoofs" which would mean "No, I'm not going to do that"\n\nDoes that make horse sense to you, or is it horse feathers?  Either way, remember, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

As far as I can tell from what I have read, technically it is not illegal anywhere in the US.  California, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Texas, and Virginia have laws that try to prevent the slaughter of horses, but the laws are not well enforced.  There are all kinds of loopholes and a great deal of horse meat from the US is exported.\n\nThese sites may help you with your debate.

"Volatile" may not be the right word for his temperment. His jockey (Walter Swinburn) said that the horse had a "fantastic" temperament, Richard Stone Reeves said he was "the most docile and friendly stallion I had ever seen" and Reeves also watched while the farm managers young sons brushed and petted the horse. Now, put him under stress, and who can say how he'll react, but "volatile" seems a too strong to describe his everyday demeanor.  \n\nAlso, he was kidnapped from Ballymany Stud Farm, not from Giltown.\n\nAs far as living or dying, there are two major theories.\nFirst, there was a ransom note demanding two million from the Aga Khan, because they thought the horse was his. They were wrong- the horse was syndicated, and the Aga Khan only owned something like 15% or 20% of the horse when it was kidnapped, so all the owners would need to agree to the ransom, because they were all on the insurance policy. As it turned out, all of the owners were unwilling to pay, because they were afraid of encouraging copycat kidnappers. \n\nSo, in theory one, the kidnappers kill the horse because he's now worthless to them, and what do you do with an iconic horse like Shergar when you can't make money off him? Kill him and dump him the body.\n\nIn theory two, Shergar acts up and hurts himself, and then has to be put down.\n\nTo answer your question, he was almost certainly killed, and almost everyone agrees that the IRA were behind the kidnapping. But there is no body. However, Shergar sired several horses before he died. His best was probably Authaal, who was a grade1 winner for Sheikh Mohammed. Another horse is a stallion called Shergar’s Best who stood in the western US, and had quite a few babies, including Shergar’s “grand-filly” Anasazi Mud, who ran well out in Idaho, and Sheer Vision, who placed in some minor stakes races at Turf Paradise. So in a sense, he lives on.

Run it over a little bit every day and clean it out a couple of times a month with a long handled scrub brush.  Running it over also gets rid of the mosquito larvae that can lead to West Nile virus which, as you know, can kill a horse.

Very harmful.  Stay away.

The pits are poisoneous to most animals.

They usually aren't. I've seen horses in the wild break a leg, heal up, and survive without human intervention. But it depends on the fracture. If the skin is broken, infection is the biggest danger. It is very difficult to treat bone infection in a horse, and that is the major cause of death in bone fractures. The second danger is laminitis. In nature, the horse carries his weight on the center of the foot, called the frog, and the foot bone directly above it called the coffin bone. Horseshoers have a bad habit of trimming the frog too short so the horse carries his weight on the outer edge of the foot where the shoe is. When the horse is standing for long periods of time on three legs, the connection between the outer hoof and the coffin bone is stressed and can break down. This can result in the coffin bone coming loose in the hoof and cutting through the bottom of the hoof, a condition called founder. This is big cause of death in a seriously injured horse. One big consideration is how the horse will be after healing. If a horse will have a significant limp, or be very arthritic, it is more humane to end his suffering right away. Often, tendons and ligaments are torn. A severed tendon is very difficult to heal. Ligaments will often heal eventually, but it is a long painful process. The horse can be put in a sling, like Swaps was, to keep weight off the leg. This requires that the horse be very cooperative. Often, the injured horse can't mentally take the stress of treatment. Forcing a high-strung athlete in training to suddenly stand quietly in a small stall for months can be torture in and of itself. Horses like Boitron have survived leg amputations and been fitted with an artificial leg. Most often, what I have seen, is that the decision is financial. How much will it cost to save the horse, versus what he will be worth if he survives. Racehorses are usually insured, so if it is put down the owner can take the money and buy another horse. The track vet is usually too eager to put a horse down. A friend of mine had a horse break his knee badly. The vet wanted to put the horse down on the track. The owner refused, and the vet insisted it had to be done. After the owner threatened to sue the vet, the owner was allowed to take the horse home alive. After a year of careful nursing by the owner, the horse not only survived without veterinary treatment but returned to racing and won.

No, it is not cruel.  Some people are cruel to their horses, but a lot of people have partnerships and friendships with their horses.  My horse Pawnee is there when I need him and is an equal in in my eyes.  I provide for his every need, and when we go on trail rides he gives me a lift.  \n\nI do not agree with the way some people treat their horses, but I do try to change everyone I can over to my way of thinking.

George Washington's famed white horse was of Arabian bloodline, as were horses owned by Ulysses S. Grant. In the 20th Century Arabians in America began to flourish, helped by the energies and interest of Carl Raswan (who loved his Arabian so much that he took his horse's name after its death) and American breeders such as W. K. Kellogg.\n\nThere are more Arabians in America today than in all other countries combined. And, without a doubt, they are Arabians of the highest quality.

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.

When wild horses grow too much hoof, they head for rocky ground to chafe it away.\n\nThink about it.

Are you going for a horseback ride around the pyramids in Giza, Egypt?\n\nIf so, please be careful. As you approach the pyramids, you will be swarmed by people claiming things like they work for the Tourism department of the Egyptian Government. If you follow them, they will lead to shoddy stables where poor sickly horses await.\n\nMany of these horses are chaffed down to the bone from saddles. Some are openly bleeding. If you are led to one of these stables, please kindly refuse to give them your business.\n\nAlso, these husslers are not actually allowed near the pyramids with their horses. They will lead you on a long goose-chase around the grounds, while trying to avoid the Egyptian police on camel. Every once in a while, they will get too close (close meaning about a half-mile away) and they will be confronted by the police... who will demand a bribe to be allowed to pass through.\n\nTo avoid all this, make your way to the pyramids admission gate, ignoring all the husslers along the way. Ask for a horse there.
