A Horse
| A mummy horse is called a mare. A daddy horse is called a stallion.A baby horse is called a foal. A female foal is called a filly foal. A male foal is called a colt foal. When a foal is born it drinks its mother's milk for six months. Then the foal can eat hay, grass and oats. A horse lives in a stable. |
| A horse's coat can come in lots of colours. A bay is brown with a black tail and mane. A chestnut is reddish brown in colour. A roan has white hair through the other colour.A Palomino is gold with a lighter golden colour through their tail and mane.A Piebald has two colours, black and white.A Skewbald is white with another colour except black. |
| A horse can walk, trot, canter or gallop.A gallop is a when the horse runs very fast. |
My visit to the Equestrian Centre at Latt in Cavan
On Friday the 9th November we went to the Equestrian Centre.First we went into a big building. It was an indoor arena. There was a horse jumping. We watched about 2 horses juimping then we went to another part of the building. This is where the horses got ready to jump for the judges . Then we went to the stables to look at the horeses being feed. Then we went to look at the horses jumping once more. Amanda
