Facts about horses

Dogs and cats drink by lapping water with their tongues while cattle and horses make use of a sucking action.
A baby female is called a filly, a baby boy is called a colt, a baby boy or girl is also known as a foal.
When first born, foals cannot eat grass because their legs are too long to reach the ground.
Foals can stand up within one hour of being born.
Most foals are born at night.
Thoroughbreds all have the same birthday which makes it easier to keep breeding, racing, and showing records.
As well as using them for fly swatting, horses use their tails to send signals to each other about how they are feeling.
A horse's height is measured in hands. 1 hand = 4 inches.
Horses belong to the equus family which comes from the Greek word meaning "quickness".
A pony is not a baby horse, but rather a full grown small horse.

facts about barrel racing

Barrel Racing
The barrels are set out in a triangle at the far end of a rodeo arena with the top of the triangle placed away from the entrance.

Contestants get a running start into the arena and have to race around the three barrels in a cloverleaf pattern and back to the starting line.

Either the left or right barrel can be taken first but contestants have to follow the correct pattern (one side, the other side, the top and then back to the start) or they will be disqualified.

The first barrel is called the money barrel because it is so important to get a good first turn.

Contestants ride their horses as close to the barrels as they can for the fastest possible time.
