Breed doesn't matter. Some horses of any breed are very gentle and easily handled, while others of the same breed are next to impossible.\n     I had one appaloosa from birth that had a mind of his own. He was real hard to handle unless he felt like it, then he was tops. His quarter horse pasture friend was a big gentle baby. He was very careful moving around in his stall. He was afraid he might step on a cat or a mouse.

A horse has different moods just like humans. A horse will get depressed when he knows he has had a bad performance and will sulk, not eat, or train as well as before. Same on the other end, if he wins. He will prance whinny and display confidence.\nA good example of this behavior is portrayed in the movie "Sea Biscuit."   \nYes, you can detect if a horse wants to or doesn't want to race on a particular day. Watch him in the paddock where they are saddled. You can see his behavior and tell if he is limping, another reason he may not want to run.

Originally referred to a horse that was ill used and badly cared for. Now refers to a female who has "been around the track a couple of times." In others words, a barfly or floozy. Of course this is all slang and refers to a lady of easy or questionable virtue.

the gaits, in order, are walk, trot, canter, gallop.\n\na walk is a slow, smooth, 4-beat gait.\n\na trot is a quick, bouncy, 2-beat gait\n\na canter is a faster, smooth, 3-beat gait\n\nand a gallop is basically a run. its a fast, 4-beat gait.\n\nat a walk, each foot hits the ground at a differnt time causing four beats.\n\non a trot, the right foreleg and left back hit the ground at the same time, and the left front and the right back hit the ground at the same time causing 2 beats.\n\nat a canter, the outside back leg pushes, then the outside front hits the ground, then the two inside hooves hit, and the inside front hits more in front than the outside front, causing the horse to "lead" with that foot. this is the long, rocking, smooth, 3-beat canter.

For beginners, start with a Western saddle. They are more stable. The western saddle has the horn in front. The horn is for hanging the lasso on, not for holding on to. But many beginners use the horn as a handle -- makes them feel more secure.\n\nTell the stable you are a novice rider. They will give you a gentle mare to ride. You may need a stool to get your foot in the stirrup. Stand to the left of the horse's face. Left hand on saddle horn. Left foot in left stirrup, swing right leg over the saddle and place right foot in right stirrup.\n\nNow, take both reins in left hand. Hold saddle horn in right hand if you want. Gently squeeze horses body with your thighs. You won't be wearing spurs!\n\nYou will most likely have a trail guide. When his horse moves, yours will follow. If she doesn't, gently snap both reins in a down motion. A horse moves side to side so expect some motion. Do not tense up or grip too tightly. Relax in the saddle.\n\nHold reins down & loosely to let the horse have her head (go). To turn horse, move reins out from your body in the direction you want her to go and gently tug (snap) the reins. To stop, pull both reins back towards your body in a smooth gentle motion.\n\nIf the stable gives you a good riding horse, she will know what to do with little help from you.\n\nOne thing to remember, horses may lose their footing. Do NOT panic. She won't go down, just may skid a bit. Hold with your thighs. Keep feet in stirrups. Heels in down position.\n\nHave fun!

I love horses, especially Peruvian Paso Horses and American Quarter Horses.\n\nPeruvians are gaited horses.  They are really smooth, and do not trot.\n\nBelow are links to more information on both breeds.

the zebra.  \n\nI don't have geological evidence, but I'm gonna say zebra because the horse as we know it didn't run free in the wild: it was made through breeding.  I have a feeling that the zebra and ancestor to the modern horse were around at the same time, and then horses were bred into being later in history.

It is hard to tell due to the fact of how old the horse is and what kind of breed it is.

Zebras are not the same species as a horse (Equus callabus).  They are, however, in the same family and even in the same genus.. Grevy's zebra (Equus grevyi), Plains zebra (Equus quagga) and so forth.  They can be broken.

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.

The first one has to do with the Trojan war, you know, they brought the horse as a gift, and the ransacked the place.\n\nDon't look a gift horse in the mouth is almost the same as beggars can't be choosers.  You can tell a lot about a horse's overall health by their oral health, and if someone gave you a horse, and  you inspected it in front of the person giving it to you, you are saying you don't trust them, and are in essence insulting them.

Canter: a horse's gait faster than a trot, but not as fast as a gallop.\n\nTo give her horse some exercise, Molly cantered her around the pasture. She did not gallop her because it was such a hot day.
