Slide 59

Whoever said that a horse is dumb, is dumb. Roy Rogers

Slide 60

The truth about white horses Is that a pony? Horse vision

Slide 61

Grey HorseTrue White Horse Most horses that are referred to as white are actually grey! A grey horse has black skin but white fur. A true white horse is very rare, they have pink skin and white fur! True white horses are the only color of horse that can get sunburned! OUCH!

Slide 62

Many people think that a pony is a baby horse, which is not true! A baby horse is called a foal. When a foal reaches the age of one year it becomes either a colt or a filly. Male foals become colts, and female foals become fillies. At the age of four years the colts become stallions and the fillies become mares. So what is a pony?

Slide 63

Ponies are related to the horse, but are just the smaller version. Compared to horses, ponies often have thicker manes, tails and overall coat, as well as shorter legs, wider bellies, thicker necks, and shorter heads with broader foreheads. The word "pony" derives from the French word poulenet, meaning foal, a young horse, but this is not the correct modern meaning; unlike a foal, a pony remains small even when fully grown

Slide 64

Blind area A horse has a very wide range of vision. A horse can see completely around its body except for directly in front of its face and directly behind it. That is why it is very important not to walk up right in front or behind a horse, you are in its blind spots and if you startle it you may get kicked. If you see a horse with a red ribbon ties to the tail, LOOK OUT! Thats the owners way of letting you know that their horse tends to kick!
