i'm sorry but these are not horse lover questions, they're ';look at all these answers that I know, see if you're as smart as me'; questions. i'm sorry to be rude, but to me this quiz looks like you trying to see how many facts that you know about horses that others don't. a true horse lover doesn't have to know how many friggin' muscles are in the horse's ear!
Most of this stuff has NOTHING TO WITH whether or not a person is a true horse person. However, I do know the answers to most of these.


1. Stubborness, and intelligence- most mules are too smart for their own good.


2. True


3.10 lbs.


4.Stay where the horse can see you, avoid obstacles ( if you are riding a walking horse) sit quietly in the saddle.


5.about 30.


6.a grooming implement made of either rubber or metal, which is used in a circular motion to remove dirt and loose hair from a horse's coat.


7.about one third of the body weight of the average horse is the weight of the animal's blood.


8.Keep the rope high and short, so the horse cannot step on it or get its foot caught, and use a proper halter. Also, NEVER TIE a horse to anything with the bridle reins- if the animal panics and pulls back, you'll have a broken bridle and a badly hurt horse.


9.I have no idea.


10. weaving, wood chewing, cribbing, stall walking or pacing, tail rubbing, kicking the stall, and being an escape artist.


11.100 to 101 degrees; may be higher in very old or young horses, and during periods of extremely hot or humid weather.


12. if half back, the horse is listening to something behind it. If flat back and pressed against the sides of the head, the horse is mad or scared.


13. Mares have 36 teeth, stallions and geldings have 40.


14. FALSE, for safety reasons. Walking directly in front of a horse can get you run over or kicked, or even struck at if the horse is a stallion. If you want to lead a horse safely, you need to stay near the left shoulder of the animal.


15. this depends on the horse and what the animal is used for.


16. TRUE. Horses which can't or don't drink enough water can't digest their food, and are at risk of colic, founder, and a whole host of other serious illnesses.


17. I don't know, and anyway, who cares?


18 what does this have to do with being a horse person?
1. i don't know exactly what you mean, but long ears or they are crossed with donkeys?


2. true


3. 532 grams (ok, i'll be honest, i googled it!)


4. give the horse some slack in the lead rope, block it whenever it invades your space if it is unrespectful, etc.


5. 54 vertabrae


6. the grooming tool used in circles to lift the dirt from the horse's skin, onto the fur so you are able to brush it off afterwards. can be rubber, metal, or plastic.


7. don't know


8. first of all, make sure the horse knows how to yeild to halter pressure. use a quick release knot, or a knot that allows the horse to drift if it gets scared. make sure it's not able to step over the rope.


9. no idea


10. vices like cribbing, pacing, etc. and all horses are bored in stalls.


11. 101 degrees?


12. just slanted or pinned? if slanted, it could just mean he's relaxed, or it could mean he's not feeling well. if his ears are pinned back, he's angry.


13. between 36 and 44


14. false, the safest place to lead is by it's neck or shoulder, but you can lead in front if your horse respects you.


15. depends on the horse and how the mane is kept


16. true


17 and 18 i don't know
