Thoroughbred Horses
Thoroughbred Horses Visit Funny Cide at the KHP Hall of Champions! A long time ago, man tamed the horse. People used horses to farm and to ride. Today, people also race horses. The most popular breed for horse racing is the Thoroughbred. The Thoroughbred is the only horse that can compete in the Kentucky Derby. * This educational packet is intended for third, fourth, and fifth graders. It may be complete in small groups or individually. ! Name:_______________________________ Date:________________________________ The Life Cycle of a Thoroughbred Racehorse Racehorses are born on farms. 1 Baby horses are called foals. ! ! Mother horses are called Mares. Foals live with their mothers. Father horses are called Stallions. 2 ! ! When foals are about six months old they are weaned, meaning separated from their mothers. 3 Weanlings live in a herd made of up horses their age. ! ! When horses turn one year old, they are called yearlings. At this point, boy horses are called colts, and girl horses are called fillies. 4 ! ! 5 Horses start racing at two years old. ! ! Racehorses retire on farms after (hopefully) long careers. Some racehorses become pleasure horses, while others are bred to produce more 6 racehorses. ! ! What about horses? Where do horses live? Horses live in barns and outside. In a barn, a horse lives in a stall. Outside, a horse lives in a pasture. ! White Prince A Rare White Thoroughbred Visit him at the KHP! ! ! What do horses eat? Horses eat a lot during the day. From the time they are born, until they are about 5 months old, foals need to drink their mother’s milk.

Horse and Buggy Driver's Manual
Horse and Buggy Driver’s Manual PUB 632 (4-19) www.penndot.gov Foreword Now more than ever, we, as horse and buggy drivers, need to be careful and observe the basic rules of safety when traveling on today’s busy roads. There is more traffic going much faster than ever before and we must do what we can to assure our own safety as well as that of motorists with whom we must share the road. We’ve created a horse and buggy driver safety manual to assist in this effort. Proper operation of your horse and buggy on these busy roads can greatly reduce crashes. The manual is intended for horse and buggy drivers operating on public roadways. However, this manual can also be useful for motor vehicle drivers, especially out-of-town visitors and tourists, not familiar with encountering horse and buggies traveling on the road. We hope that you will find this information useful and will do your part to make our roadways safe.

Mules and Hinnies Factsheet
FACTSHEET: OWNERS MULES AND HINNIES Mules and hinnies are similar. They are both a cross between a horse and a donkey, with unique characteristics that make them special. Because they are so similar, the terms ‘mule’ and ‘hinny’ are used interchangeably, with hinnies often being referred to as mules. KEY FACTS ABOUT MULES AND HINNIES: Mule: The result of a donkey stallion mating with a female horse. Mules tend to have the head of a donkey and extremities of a horse. Hinny: The result of a horse stallion mating with a female donkey. Hinnies are less common than mules and there might be subtle differences in appearance. Size: Varies greatly depending on the stallion and mare. Ranging from 91-172 cm. Health: Hardy and tough. They often have good immune systems. Strength: Extremely strong. They pull heavy loads and carry much heavier weights than donkeys or horses of a similar size. Behaviour: Intelligent and sensitive. They can have unpredictable reactions. Appearance: Ears smaller than a donkey’s, the same shape as a horse’s. The mane and tail of a hinny is usually similar to a horse. Vocalisation: A mixture of a donkey’s ‘bray’ and a horse’s ‘whinny’. Sex: Male is a ‘horse mule’ (also known as a ‘john’ or ‘jack’). Female is a ‘mare mule’ (also known as a ‘molly’). Young: A ‘colt’ (male) or ‘filly’ (female). What is hybrid vigour? Hybrid = a crossbreed Vigour = hardiness or resilience • ‘Interbreeding’ (crossbreeding) can remove weaker characteristics and instead pass on desirable inherited traits. This is ‘hybrid vigour’, a term often associated with mules and hinnies.

The Effect on Performance in Descendents of New Forest Pony Stallions, That Have the Clc-1 Gene Mutations That Leads to Congenit
The effect on performance in sports in descendents of CLCN1 gene mutation carrier New Forest pony stallions Authors: D.M. Dickhoff; I.D. Wijnberg Abstract Aim of the study: To determine if ponies descending from a CLCN1 gene mutation carrier stallion perform better in sports, compared to ponies that do not descent from a CLCN1 gene mutation carrier stallion. Study design: Data analysis of 11.414 New Forest ponies, in which the relationship between the descent of the ponies and their sport performance are analyzed. Methods: Ponies were divided in jumping, dressage and eventing categories. They were listed categorically from the lowest category to the highest and descendents from mutation carrier stallions were marked. Statistical analysis with logistic regression between the sport categories and within the categories has been performed using SPSS version 19. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Ponies descending from a mutation carrying stallion are significantly better performing in jumping. The odds of finding a descent in the highest jumping category is 7.6 compared to the lowest. In dressage, descendents from a gene mutation carrier stallion are performing significantly better, with an odds of 4.1 for performing in the highest category. In eventing, the odds of finding a descendent from a mutation carrying stallion in the highest category is 2.9 compared to the lowest. Conclusion and clinical relevance: Ponies that are descendants of a mutation carrying stallion are performing significantly better in jumping, dressage and eventing. This conclusion might lead to breeding programs which includes stallions who carry this mutation, aiming to breed better performing ponies in equine sports, which is in contrast of the aim of the Studbook to eradicate the mutation.

The Origin and Relationships of the Mustang, Barb, and Arabian Horse
Author’s Preface: The article which follows was commissioned in 2002 by the remarkable Viggo Mortensen, who starred as Aragorn in “The Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy, and who thereafter completely transformed himself to become Frank T. Hopkins for the film “Hidalgo”. Frank T. Hopkins was a real person of part American Indian ancestry, who as a youth in the 1870’s had worked as an errand rider for the U.S. Cavalry on the Plains and who later became a skillful and successful endurance rider and circus performer. During production of “Hidalgo”, Mortensen, who is interested in horses, mooted the idea of publishing a book about the various horse breeds involved in that film. The writer for Hidalgo was John Fusco, who also wrote the DreamWorks film “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron” on which I worked as technical consultant. Fusco breeds mustangs and has also become a friend. He introduced me through correspondence to Mortensen, and the writing project evolved out of that. Unfortunately the book was destined never to be published, although a slightly shorter version of this article was posted for a time at the “Hidalgo” website. We re-post it here in hopes that it will continue to be of help and interest to horse lovers everywhere. THE ORIGIN AND RELATIONSHIPS OF THE MUSTANG, BARB, AND ARABIAN HORSE © 2008 by Deb Bennett, Ph.D. Horse and Human Come Together An icy wind tosses a skiff of powder-fine snow across frozen ground, swirling in hoofprints freshly hollowed by a band of horses. Snorting softly, the stocky and shaggy beasts bunch together for warmth and protection.

Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

Identifying the Blue Roan Blue
Identifying the Blue Roan Blue Black APPALOOSA Description: White with spots over entire body Description: White with spots over body and hips Face Markings: None Face Markings: None Leg Markings: None Leg Markings: left hind partial stocking he Appaloosa has a bold and colorful heritage, originating some 20,000 years ago. Its appearance and unique qualities earned it special recognition in the drawings of caveT dwellers, worship in ancient Asia, and status as a prized mount of Spanish explorers, Native Americans and western settlers. Today, the Appaloosa’s color, versatility, willing temperament and athletic ability make it a popular choice for a number of activities. Appaloosa Characteristics Dark Bay or Brown or Bay Dark Roan Bay Description: Roan over body and hips Description: Spots over body and hips Face Markings: Star Face Markings: None Leg Markings: Left front lightning marks, left hind partial pastern, right front Mottled or Parti-colored Skin Leg Markings: Right front pastern, right hind ankle lightning marks, right hind partial pastern This characteristic is unique to the Appaloosa breed. Therefront, mot- tled skin is a basic and decisive indicator of an Appaloosa. Mottled skin is different from commonly found pink (flesh-colored or non-pigmented) skin in that it normally contains dark areas of pigmented skin. The result is a speckled or blotchy pattern of pigmented and non-pigmented skin. Examples of this are found to the right. If a horse has mottled skin, it may be found in several places. In addition to the muzzle and eye areas, mottled skin may spread from the center of the anus or vulva to the surrounding area.
