  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • Equine Anatomy & Digestion
    Equine Anatomy & Digestion In all mammals, the gut is a one-way street: food is taken in at the front. As it passes through the digestive system, it is processed and nutrients are removed. What cannot be digested and absorbed is passed out at the rear as feces. MOUTH/TEETH Lips, tongue and front teeth help get the food into the mouth. Further back are teeth which begin the process of breaking down the food by masticating or chewing it. Saliva is added to the chewed food, to moisten it for swallowing. Saliva also contains one or two enzymes that begin the chemical digestion of the food. ESOPHAGUS Once food is swallowed, it is carried to the stomach in the abdomen through a long muscular tube called the esophagus. Muscles in the esophagus wall contract behind the food item to propel it along the tube. STOMACH The stomach has muscles in the wall. These muscles assist digestion by contracting to churn the contents, just like a washing machine, making sure that the digesta are well mixed with the acid and enzymes. For such a large animal, the stomach is quite small. Comparing it with a dog or a human stomach, it is relatively smaller in proportion to the animal’s size. So a horse’s stomach does not operate as large storage reservoir where much of digestion takes place: Instead it is designed to take small, frequent quantities of food, begin digesting them, and passing them along rapidly. Unlike most mammals, acid is constantly being secreted into the stomach (whether or not there is food present) Stomach has 2 distinct sections 1.

  • Books About Horses
    BOOKS ABOUT HORSES The Girl Who Loved Horses by Paul Goble "Paul Goble's beautifully-told, Caldecott Award-winning book (S&S, 1978) receives a fine treatment in this book and tape set. It is the tale of a Native American girl whose tribe follows the buffalo. She tends the horses, and grows to love them so much that eventually she joins them. Accompanied by Native American music, the story is clearly and lovingly read by Lance White Magpie, and sound effects help bring it to life. One side of the tape includes page-turn signals, while the other does not. Audio quality is excellent. This would make a good listening center for units on Native Americans, art, or horses." (Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary School, School Library Journal) If a Horse Had Words, by Kelly Cooper "When the foal is born she takes in her surroundings. As she stands for the first time, her back legs are stuck in a muddy hole, but a young boy and his dad come to help her free; still, she's forever fearful of the ground. As she grows into a horse, she has many experiences with the boy, running and jumping, and watching the seasons pass. Eventually, readers learn her name, Red Badger, and in her dislike of the ground, she accidentally bucks the boy off her back. His dad decides to sell Red Badger and she ends up at the rodeo. The boy, now older, arrives to ride at the rodeo. They recognize each other and their reunion brings them both incredible joy.

  • Little Animals in Art, Culture, and Museums
    Reflections on Co-Teaching “Little Animals in Art, Culture, and Museums” Dave Aftandilian, Department of Anthropology (Human-Animal Relationships Minor), Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, TX, [email protected], & Nick Bontrager, Department of Art (New Media), Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, TX, [email protected] In this paper, we will share our experiences co-teaching a new class in Spring 2018 called “Into the Small: Little Animals in Art, Culture, and Museums.” We developed this class as part of TCU’s new interdisciplinary minor on “Human-Animal Relationships” (HARE); it also counted toward majors or minors in our home departments of Anthropology and Studio Art. First, we will explain our goals for the class, and why we wanted to teach it. For instance, we focused on little animals, including insects, because they are often lesser known, ignored, or slighted (compared to other animals). Moreover, by helping the students shift their scales of reference from micro to macro and back, we hoped to help spark curiosity and inquiry both among them and among viewers of their artworks and exhibits. We also wanted to expose students to how different ways of knowing animals affect what we learn about them and how we view them, including using different senses and artistic techniques, as well as exploring the points of views of diverse people and cultures. Second, we will discuss the topics we covered in the class and why we selected them, from acoustic ecology to animal personhood to museum studies; the types of assignments we used to guide the students in engaging with them, including sketch book entries, art projects, and written papers; and how we assessed their work.

  • The Evolution of the Horse
    BY LES SELLNOW he evolution of the horse from a tiny, four-toed an imal, T perhaps no more than one foot tall, to the variety of equines in existence today, is one of the wonders of nature. During that process of change, the horse evolved over many thousands of years from an animal that predators hunted for food to an animal that became a servant and friend for mankind. Today’s horses are designed to do one of two things— pull a load with their shoulders or carry riders on their backs. The type of horses utilized for these respective tasks varies a good deal; one is large and pon d erous and the other is lighter-boned with less mu s cle mass. Even within these two types, there are significant differences. For example, the conformation of a roping or cutting This first article of a 12-part series on equine anatomy and horse is different from that of the American Saddle- physiology discusses basic terminology, the horse’s largest bred.
