Whoever said that a horse is dumb, is dumb. Roy Rogers
Slide 60
The truth about white horses Is that a pony? Horse vision
Slide 61
Grey HorseTrue White Horse Most horses that are referred to as
white are actually grey! A grey horse has black skin but white fur.
A true white horse is very rare, they have pink skin and white fur!
True white horses are the only color of horse that can get
sunburned! OUCH!
Slide 62
Many people think that a pony is a baby horse, which is not
true! A baby horse is called a foal. When a foal reaches the age of
one year it becomes either a colt or a filly. Male foals become
colts, and female foals become fillies. At the age of four years
the colts become stallions and the fillies become mares. So what is
a pony?
Slide 63
Ponies are related to the horse, but are just the smaller
version. Compared to horses, ponies often have thicker manes, tails
and overall coat, as well as shorter legs, wider bellies, thicker
necks, and shorter heads with broader foreheads. The word "pony"
derives from the French word poulenet, meaning foal, a young horse,
but this is not the correct modern meaning; unlike a foal, a pony
remains small even when fully grown
Slide 64
Blind area A horse has a very wide range of vision. A horse can
see completely around its body except for directly in front of its
face and directly behind it. That is why it is very important not
to walk up right in front or behind a horse, you are in its blind
spots and if you startle it you may get kicked. If you see a horse
with a red ribbon ties to the tail, LOOK OUT! Thats the owners way
of letting you know that their horse tends to kick!
