In that, she thinks horses are these mean, hairy, scary beasts, like the ones you see the Nazgul riding in Fellowship of the Ring. Or some equivelent of that.

I know that I have always had many questions about my horses. But what I really want someone to explore is the relationship between horses and turtles. Are they natural enemies? do horses eat turtles or the other way around? If left in the wild, do they form a natural symbiotic relationship, like with birds and rhinos? These would be interesting topics for a thesis.

turtles and horses do not have a relationship with one another. Horses cannot eat turtles because they are herbivores. Turtles cannot either because they are not able to bite a horse with their beaks.

I find as a first time horse owner I get really upset when something is outta place or unusual about my horse. Just recently she scratched her eye badly and the vet had to come out and stain her eye...now I find myself putting in three different types of eye medication several times a day and a pain and swelling reducer two times a day. I am absolutly terrified of my horse Colicing(sp?)....and even the slightest scratch on my horse drives me up the wall

I can't handle her being in any kind of pain.

Really what I would find useful is something that shows symptoms and signs of different illness and ect.

colicing scares every horse owner. Luckily, my colic-prone horse has made it through his colic episodes.

Question....ummm... are some horses are more prone to colicing? and if so....why?

*Cascadia* · 11-08-2003, 09:38 PM

some horses have more sensitive digestive systems than other horses.

YEah... I think the breeding and genetics have much to do with that too. Was talking to another horse owner on a TF forum, and she said she owns an adopted Mustang. And that Mustangs as a whole never have problems colicking. So either they are tougher, or that thier diet had not been messed up by the pampered diet and lifestyle of a barn kept horse. Interesting...

Oh, and also, I thought it might be cool so start out with a real picture of a horse, then fade that away into my hand drawn animation of the innards and stuff.

I could get in touch with the riding stable I used to go to to get pictures, but trhen I thought if you guys have some good pictures of your horses, maybe I could request those too. I justy seek a clear shot from the side of the horse. Without saddle and bridle and rider, and with the horse walking, or standing without other humans in the picture.

I don't wnat to take anoy old picture off the internet for this, cause they say all the images, sounds and research has to be valid and used with permission.
