Do purebred Arabian Horses have thinner fur than American horses or do they shed the fur?

Horses have hair.  Depending on the climate, an Arabian horse will grow a substantial winter coat.\n\nIf you compare an Arabian living in California, with one living in Montana, you can visibly see the difference in their winter coats.

Depends on the flooring in the stable. You may want to look into rubber matting for your floor. It helped my horse. If that isn't an option. More shavings I guess. Good grooming always counts. I don't know how many times I've been to a competition and seen horses who were half heartedly groomed. Nothing done with the hooves. No braids. If your going to go, go all the way.

Mostly I have seen medium brown horses.\n\nI have also seen:\nBlack Horses\nPalomino Horses-Very light with white manes and tails\nAppaloosa horses-Could be greyish or pale-ish, but typically with spots\nGrey horses\nRoans\nChestnuts\nBays\nEven a few white horses.\n\nMostly in the suburbs.  Many communities have horse neighborhoods.\n\nThe white horses were usually seen at a circus - The Famous Lippizaner Stallions\n\nI have also seen them at racetracks, rodeos, and parades.\n\nEdit:  The light coloured horses are usually rare in the Southwestern United States because the predators tend to target them first, especially in the wild.  Owners of light coloured horses tend to prize them specially in that area, and keep them safe from predators.

this information from wikipedia:\nThe horse (Equus caballus or Equus ferus caballus) is a sizeable ungulate mammal, one of ten modern species of the genus Equus. Horses have long been one of the most economically important domesticated animals, and have played an important role in the transport of people and cargo for thousands of years. Most notably, horses can be ridden by a person perched on a saddle attached to the animal, ridden bareback, and are also widely harnessed to pull objects like wheeled vehicles or plows. In some human cultures, horses are also widely used as a source of food. It has been suggested that isolated domestication may have occurred as early as 10,000 years ago, but clear evidence of widespread use by humans dates to around 2000 B.C., as evidenced by the Sintashta chariot burials, thus firmly establishing the domestication of the horse; however, the ability to have a horse (or horses) willingly pull a chariot (or any wheeled vehicle) implies many generations of selective breeding and a large store of knowledge about horse behavior, which pushes the date of whatever we choose to call "domestication" considerably backwards.\n\nPresently, there are many types of horses. Some are very well known for certain particular qualities or abilities: Thoroughbreds are known for being race horses, while miniature horses serve as mounts for very small children, if they are ridden at all.\n\nUntil the middle of the 20th century, armies used horses extensively in warfare; soldiers still refer to the groups of machines that have replaced horses on the battlefield as "cavalry" units, and sometimes preserve traditional horse-oriented names for military units (Lord Strathcona's Horse).

People of predominantly Caucasian stock (Middle Eastern, European, Persian, North African, Central Asian, Western Asian, Etc) tend to have more body hair in general than the rest of the world's population. So yes.

I'm from Iran and everyone gets me mixed up for an arabian. The differance between them is the cultures (yes some of then can both be muslims), haritage (the ways they dress) there language (araby and farsi and sometimes turkish), also the ways that they were brought up in life and were tought. theres also the waays that they write. yes they look very simular but the thing is that they are the same it's just that arabian writing has more sounds then farsi writing that makes it have to use more little lines and coma like stuff alot more.\n\nBut something that they have in comman is that they ALL hate Bush. Don't get me wrong i live in the usa, it's just that i'm tired of being made fun of.

I own 4 horses.  1 purebred Arab, 1 Anglo Arab, 1 Arab x quarter horse and 1 that is 7/8 Arab.  i like them because they all have a very good temperament and are very friendly.  They are all show horses and have long stud names but their paddock names are Rai, Prince, Legend and Fury.

There weren't many domesticable breeds in America.  So, Europeans had to bring over horses, cows, sheep etc.  \nRead Guns, Germs and Steel

Zebras - White Stripes or Black Stripes?\n\n© Copyright 1999, Jim Loy\n\nIs the zebra a white animal with black stripes, or a black animal with white stripes? My dictionary says that they have "black or dark-brown stripes on a whitish background." And, zebras sometimes have a light-colored belly with no stripes (usually the belly is striped, too). That would seem to settle the above question, although my encyclopedias mention black (or dark brown) and white stripes, and do not mention any background.\n\nA light-colored belly is not very strong evidence, as many animals, of many colors and species have light-colored bellies. It is not a strong indication of the true color of such animals. So, a zebra may be black with white stripes, and sometimes have a light-colored belly.\n\nHorses, while they are not descended from zebras, are related to zebras. Rarely a horse will have faint stripes. From what I can find, only dark horses, never white horses, sometimes have stripes. So, from that line of evidence, it would seem that the zebra is black with white stripes.

African Elephant. The Indian elephant is generally smaller, and weighs less.

Where did you hear this?  You may have misheard it.  There are a lot of "horse idioms" but nothing like you describe.  Perhaps it is "Wild horses would not play tag on tender hoofs" which would mean "No, I'm not going to do that"\n\nDoes that make horse sense to you, or is it horse feathers?  Either way, remember, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Thoroughbred racing blood: the foundation sires of that are the Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Barb and the Byerley Turk (I think- who was probably also an Arab), but those aren't breeds. The Polish Arabs are very beautiful, but...\nThe only things that sound similar is Knabstrup (but those aren't wildly beautiful), Lusitano (but not Arabian) or Friesian (Dutch warmblood, ditto on not Arab)\nI'll keep thinking. But the Russian Orloffs are gorgeous too. Maybe I'm spacing

A quarter horse is one of a breed of strong horses developed in the U.S. for short-distance races, usually a quarter of a mile or less (hence the "quarter" part of the name). These horses have reportedly been clocked at 55 mph (over 88 km/H) in speed.\n\nQuarter Horses are the most popular breed in the United States, and is the largest breed society in the world. \n\nIn the 1600s, American colonists on the eastern seaboard began to crossbreed imported English horses with "native" horses. The influence of some of these thoroughbreds contributed genes crucial to the developement of the colonial "Quarter Miler," or "Quarter Mile Horse". \n\nSo the country of origin is the United States, and "Quarter Horse Racing" is the racing of horses at high speeds for short distances on a straightaway course, originally a quarter of a mile.\n\nQuarter-horse racing was begun by the early settlers in Virginia shortly after Jamestown was established in 1607. \n\nI hope this is helpful.

I truely believe they do. Like my cats all loooove to be told how good they are and dogs do too. Horses are very smart animals and they also have a sense of pride. Quite definitly they know when they've won the race!!!
