Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is an adult female horse called?

Answer: mare

Mares are older than four and fillies are younger than four. A colt is a young male horse. A foal is a baby horse.

2. What is the major difference between stallions and geldings?

Answer: geldings are neutered

Stallions can breed, but geldings can't. Geldings are better-behaved, which makes them easier to work with.

3. Are horses even or odd toed?

Answer: odd

They are odd-toed ungulates. A horse's foot is called a hoof. Horse's hooves are made out of the same material as our fingernails.

4. Where does the bit go?

Answer: in the horse's mouth

A bit is located at the end of a bridle. Bridles go on a horse's head. You use it to control the horse.

5. What would you be most likely to keep in a tack room?

Answer: saddles, bridles, and other horse supplies

Saddles go on a horse's back to be ridden on. Grain and food would go in a feed room. Saddles and bridles are normally made of leather.

6. Which of these should you never feed a horse?

Answer: meat

You should also not feed them chocolate. Salt licks, carrots, and hay are all good for horses. Horses are vegetarians, meaning that they don't eat meat.

7. Horses have 360� vision.

Answer: False

They have 350� vision. Horses are not color-blind. Horses cannot see directly in front of them.

8. Which of these is NOT one of a horse's four natural gaits?

Answer: run

The other gait is a walk. Galloping is the fastest and walking is the slowest. Some horses have more than four gaits.

9. Where should you mount a horse from?

Answer: the left side

To mount, first you grab the horse's mane, put your left foot in the stirrup, and then swing your other leg over. English and western riding are the most common riding styles in the U.S.

10. What is a farrier?

Answer: a person who takes care of a horse's hooves

Farriers help maintain a horse's hooves by trimming them and keeping them healthy. They also shoe horses.
