1. False

2. Monocular and binocular. They use monocular more

3. He is concentrating on (listening to) two different things)

4. This one's kind of ambiguous. After he's weaned, a horse is no longer a foal, however, people usually don't call a six-month-old a horse. If you're going by that school of thought, they go from foal to weanling to yearling. Otherwise, many people will call any horse under four a colt or filly, and stallion or mare when they reach four.

5. False

6. 8-10 gallons

7. 8 lbs.

8. Comtois

9. Brabant

10. Galiceno

I didn't look at anyone else's answers yet, so if mine are the same, we must both be really smart!!

I was answering your other question so I decided to copy and paste my answer on this one! Here's all 20! =)

1. True/False: Horses always sleep standing up.

False. They don't *always* sleep standing up. If I walk out late at night so check on the horses I have a couple that sleep laying down. However, a horse can't sleep on laying down for more then 2 hours because their organs will gets smushed because they weigh so much.

2. What are the two types of vision a horse has? Which is used more?

I've heard of dichromatic vision, Binocular vision, and trichromatic vision, Monocular vision. the , between them are the same thing but they have different names. It depends on what the horse is looking at. Binocular vision is more for objects in front of them when monocular vision is used for more side views. I would probably say monocular vision is used more.

3. When a horse's ears are pointing in two seperate directions, what does that usually mean?

They are focused on something in front and behind them. Say a person is riding them and they stop and another person comes in front of the horse petting them and you get to talking. Sometimes the horse will focus on the noise you and the person ahead is making. Or if you're riding and you press with one leg the horse will turn that ear back because they're focused on that.

4. When is a horse considered a horse, and not a foal?

After they've turned 4. A colt will become a gelding or stallion and a filly will become a mare.

False.
