Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is T.P.R?

Answer: Temperature, pulse and respiration

T.P.R rates vary from horse to horse, so it is important to know what is normal for your horse.

2. To receive an accurate T.P.R rate, you should examine your horse in what state?

Answer: At rest

If you know what T.P.R is normal for your horse, then early diagnosis of ailments is more common.

3. Which of the following are not parasites which affect horses?

Answer: Blueworms

Make sure to change your wormers regularly as some worms build up resistance to the chemicals in one wormer.

4. Your horse has swollen glands, nasal discharge, a cough and a temperature. What is he most likely suffering from?

Answer: Strangles

Strangles is highly contagious, so isolate the patient and call the vet as quickly as possible.

5. Horses can be anaemic.

Answer: True

Folic acid, B12 or iron supplements may be required in the diet if your horse has anaemia.

6. C.O.P.D affects which system?

Answer: Respiratory System

C.O.P.D stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and in simple terms means an allergy, normally caused by the fungal spores in mouldy hay.

7. Which of these are most feared among horse owners?

Answer: Colic

To avoid colic follow the rules of feeding and worm your horse regularly. Complete prevention is nearly impossible and even the best cared for horses have been known to get colic.

8. Ringworm can be very hard to control once it has got into a yard. What precautions can be taken to avoid this from happening?

Answer: All three of these

When buying a horse, vetting should rule out the possibility of ringworm.

9. Sensitive skin can be a cause of girth galls.

Answer: True

Some horses have sensitive skin. Even certain washing powders can irritate them!

10. Laminitis only affects little fat ponies.

Answer: False

Laminitis can affect any horse. Fat ponies are more prone but retaining the afterbirth or inflammation of the gut may also result in laminitis.
