Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. For what purpose would you put bell boots on your horse?

Answer: over-reaching

Over-reaching is when the back hoof clips the front heel, and bell boots protect the heel.
2. If you're just starting a 2-year old under saddle, which of these would be a good training exercise?

Answer: ground-driving

Ground-driving is extremely useful because it teaches the horse how to turn with very light pressure on the bit.
3. If a horse's tail is tucked tightly between his legs, he is which of these?

Answer: tense and nervous

It's true. If you can easily move his tail up and down, he is likely relaxed and comfortable.
4. When trying to catch a horse, always walk straight up to him head-on so he knows you're there.

Answer: False

Horses have a blind spot right in front of them, so it's always best to walk up to a horse at his shoulder.
5. If a horse is broken to neck-rein what does it mean?

Answer: he turns without pressure on the bit

Neck-reining is one of the main things that separates Western from English riding. When riding an English broken horse, you always have slight contact with the mouth. Western horses usually work on a loose rein, but this is not to say that an "English horse" can't be ridden Western or vice-versa.
6. What is the correct number of poles used in pole bending?

Answer: 6

This is a timed event, usually in a gymkhana, where the horse and rider weave through the poles.
7. All riding horses should be shod.

Answer: False

You usually only shoe a horse when you ride often on gravel or pavement. Even then, some breeds have very tough feet, and don't need shoes.
8. The Friesian horse originated in which country?

Answer: Netherlands

9. A snaffle bit is which of these?

Answer: a bit with no shanks

A lot of people think "snaffle" means broken mouthpiece, but all it really means is that it's not a leverage bit.
10. If you are sitting on your horse with perfect body position, how do you look?

Answer: Your hip, your heels and the back of your head all line up

There are different leg positions for different disciplines, but this describes the all-around pleasure, trail and show position.
