I think one of them might be wrong… The correct answer for “11. Which piece of tack should be the last one introduced when starting a young horse?” Is actually ‘Bit’, not ‘Girth’.
Just thought I’d let you know. :) Thanks!
#3 “At what age is it safe to start a horse under saddle with light riding?” It should be 2 years, not 3. After all, just look at the Kentucky Derby which is for 3 year olds and they have to have raced their 2 year old year as well. Pretty difficult to do that without a jockey riding. :) Thanks for the help with the other answers. the British are definitely different with quite a few things than the US is, especially in the West.
Wow I passed level 9 today because of this site. MG I had that question and I believe your correct but I think howrse.com is wrong because I followed that answer and I got it right. So blame it on howrse.com not howrsehelper.com.
Q) The areas of forests occupied by discrete groups of New Forest ponies are commonly called
A) Haunts
You don’t have this question on your list.
