Horse terminology for beginners – or how to make sure you get whatever it was you needed instead of something you did not. This guest post is by Victoria and entry in our non- fiction writing contest .  Note: you can read part one here.

MN Horse Training Academy, located in Ogilvie, Minnesota, specializes in Horse Training, Equestrian School, Horse Academy, Trick Training, Horses.

Horse people have their own specialized vocabulary, like most hobbies or occupations. Some of these words are familiar to non- horsemen, but most are very arcane. Some can even be a source of confusion to the non- initiate. If the SHTF and you need something for your horse, it will behoove you to use the correct terminology. And it would really really suck to spend a long time bartering for what you thought was something you needed to discover that it wasn’t what you thought it was after all! Basics first. Hand – (trust me, there is a reason I’m detailing this here…) the traditional measurement unit for horses.

A hand is 4 inches. Horses are measured from the ground to the highest non- moveable point on their anatomy – the top of the withers. Extra inches over a multiple of four are placed after a decimal point like so: 1. The “extra” amount will always be 1, 2, or 3, obviously. This measurement is abbreviated to “hh” or “hands high” or just plain “h” for “hands”. Like people, horses are often the subjects of “size inflation” – horse people tend to think their horses are taller and weigh more than they actually do.

Withers – the part of the horse’s anatomy that is the highest non- changing point on the horse, it is the “bump” at the base of the horse’s neck where it meets the back. Some horses have very prominent withers; others have much less bony ones. Bony withers that stick up making riding without a saddle very uncomfortable as well as making fitting a saddle difficult, but not enough withers makes keeping the saddle in place difficult also. For some reason, male riders object to bony withers more than female riders…Horse – any equine that is above 1. Also, confusingly, can refer to an un- castrated male equine.

Pony – any equine that is 1. Some breeds are called “horses” but are usually ponies. Some pony breeds have animals that get over 1.

More simple stuff – genders and ages. Mare – a female horse. Filly – a young female horse. Technically a filly is under 4 years of age and has not been bred, but for most purposes, a filly is a young female horse that hasn’t been ridden yet. Broodmare – a mare that is used for breeding purposes. Be careful buying a “broodmare” … they are not always broke to ride!

Stallion – a male horse that has not been castrated. Do not buy one of these if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Stud – a slang- ish term for a stallion, often used for one that is kept for breeding purposes. Colt – a young male horse. You will often see this used as a generic term for a young horse, sometimes combined like “a filly colt” … which makes no sense.

But, technically a colt is a young male horse under 4 years of age that is not castrated but has not been used for breeding. Just understand that lots and lots of folks will use colt to mean a young horse, and make sure you get clarity on how they mean “colt”. Gelding – a male horse that has been castrated. Can be used for any age of horse. These make good riding horses and good workhorses but obviously they can’t reproduce. Gelding a horse does not always completely eliminate sexual behavior, but it greatly reduces it. Gelding an older stallion or one that has bred a mare will increase your likelihood of them exhibiting “stud” behavior.

I have a gelding who was gelded quite young (4 months) but who does know when our mares go into heat and will try to court them, although he doesn’t get bad about this behavior. Foal – a horse of either sex under one year of age. Common usage is in some places to restrict this usage to horses still nursing their mothers, but other places use it even after the baby has been weaned. Weanling – a young horse under a year old that has been weaned from its mother.

Usually happens 3 to 6 months of age. Yearling – a horse that is between 1 and 2 years old. Usually not broke to ride, although Thoroughbred racehorses are often started under saddle late in their yearling year. Types of horses. Grade – a horse that is a mutt, basically. Not registered in any studbook or horse registry. Draft horse – one of a number of large horse breeds developed to haul cargo wagons.

They range in size from 1. Clydesdale, Shire, Belgian and Percheron. Contrary to popular belief, medieval warhorses were not as big as modern draft horses nor were they the ancestors of draft horses. Pleasure breed/riding breed – a member of a horse breed developed for riding and/or racing. Typical riding breeds include the American Quarter Horse, the Morgan, the Paint, the Tennessee Walker, the Saddlebred and numerous other breeds around the world. Generally a pleasure breed will have a good temperament and behavior, but this does not always hold true. Thoroughbreds are often high- strung and a bit flighty, due to them being bred mainly for speed.

Pony breeds – Smaller horse breeds. Watch Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever Online (2017). Adults can ride the larger pony breeds, but the smaller Shetlands are usually too small for adult riders. Welsh Ponies and the Pony of the Americas are the usually found larger pony breeds in the United States. Harness/Driving breeds – a member of a horse breed historically used for pulling lighter wagons or buggies.

Many of these breeds have gone extinct or developed in other directions, but the Cleveland Bay, the Hackney, and the Standardbred are still found in reasonable numbers. Many pleasure breeds can also be used for driving – the Morgan and Arabian are often found doing both riding and driving.

Ridablity status. Unbroke – denotes a horse that is not trained for riding.

This can mean anything from a horse that is totally handle able on the ground but just isn’t ready to train yet (usually because of age) to a horse that has never met a person in its life and is wild as can be. Be careful dealing with “unbroke” horses – it’s like anything else in this world – buyer beware. Green- broke – a horse that has started its training for being ridden but isn’t “finished” yet. This usually means that the horse has some small amount of riding time but really is only suited for a truly knowledgeable horseperson. Some horses don’t spend very long in the green broke category, others never leave it. Also, horse people tend to be a bit optimistic on deciding whether or not their horse is really past the “green broke” stage.

Buyer beware! Finished – In theory, this means the horse has finished its saddle training and is safe for most riders. In practice, this can cover a multitude of sins and often is more “hopeful” than “realistic”. Dead broke – Theoretically (note that we are using this word a lot… horse people are just as full of hope as the rest of us!) this means the horse is safe for all riders, even rank beginners. Often, however, this is used to either mean the horse is so lazy it won’t walk or that the owner wants it to be dead broke but it’s barely green broke. Bombproof – the single scariest description that can be used for a horse. It either means a horse that is one step from the grave, too lazy to move even if you beat it, or it’s a horse no one can possibly ride but the owner hopes you won’t notice.

If I seem a bit jaundiced here, its because I’ve spent entirely too much of my time dealing with theoretically bombproof horses that really weren’t. I used to teach riding at a rental stable. This is like teaching in the inner city.)Movement. Gaits – the various “speeds” of the horse. Technically they are classified by the way the horse’s legs move and in what combination, but for most folks, gaits=speeds. Most horses have three gaits – walk, trot, and canter.

Some breeds have other gaits on top of these, and some horses “pace” instead of “trot”. Also there are speed variations of some of these gaits.

Walk – the slowest of all gaits. Watch The Perfect House Online Free 2016. This is the same as all other animals walk – each foot is picked and moved forward one at a time.
