I can help you!!!

Things to know about horses and horse breeds..

1) the common Chicken has 3 times the brain size of a horse
2) Some horses are bigger than others
3) Americans love their horses
4) Nothing is as good for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse (stolen from someone)
5) Horses are not Kosher ( some guy in Israel told me this, he could be wrong)
6) Horses are 5 times smarter and cleaner than a dux
7) Horse poop adds up quickly, they eat more than a dux
8) Falling off a horse hurts more than falling off a dux
9) Horses live longer than dux
10) You really need to own a horse..


I hope this helps!

my DH shares your humble opinion of horses.... he said you hit all the high points..... lol ps. I sold my horse in Oct but am up to over 100 chickens... a few dux and 2 turkeys

Actually, I could and do...My Spouse has a bunch of short people in her family. They can not get onto a horse without a ladder to help them. Most of them find it easier to ride a Dux because of their lack of stature.

Her late Uncle Frederick fell off a dux and broke his collar bone. I had to take him to the Emergency room and he said all the way to the ER how much it hurt.

He claimed the Dux bucked him off, I think he fell off because of his drinking problem and how much dandelion wine he had consumed...

It is a hear saying, it is inadmissible!

Oh, yeah...there certainly are rough-riding saddle horses, however, as with any other type of breeding, not every breeding, even between better-than-average specimens, is going to produce offspring that live up to expectations; nature can & will still throw you a curve ball. Still others are the result of indescriminent (sp) breeding. Most riding stable horses fall into the latter category

Yes, and yes. The ride on a horse can vary immensely depending on the breed. They are breed for different purposes.

A horse for working cattle (Quarterhorse) is fast and and agile.
A Tennessee walker as I understand is a very smooth gaited horse, I believe they were breed for "transportation" of one person..I have not rode one of them.

I talked about "Dewey" my Belgian. He was very rough riding. Belgians were bred to pull plows. They are a true beast of burden. They weigh a tad over a ton (US).

They lumber when they walk.

You can cross train any horse to be ridden or pull a cart, or whatever, and most of us do. My Quarter horses pulled logs out of the woods, a couple could pull a sleigh. I rode my Belgian.

I am not a horse expert, I have only owned Quarterhorses, Belgians and a few mutts.

I thank you both. Is racing horses like the thoroughbred , or the Arabian horse are considered smooth riding?

I made a thread just for you! @Christinecam

Thank you all so much!! Unfortunately Cheeks didn’t make it. She was fineness after that day for several days. I treated for 2 weeks with corrid. One night Cheeks was unable to balance at all and passed away in my arms. The others are all doing great. I’m truly wondering if Cheeks didn’t have a internal developmental issue.
