i am feeding carotts to a mare and her foul across the road from me, i adore them, they are not mine, anyway, wondering are horses friendly animals when i am finished giving them the carotts the mare just F...s off with her self doesn't want to know me, now the foul stays alright, just wondering any answers please.
Answers:
Horses and ponies are kind and thoughtful, as long as they are treated with respect. They enjoy TLC (tender loving care) and nibbits to eat - especially carrots. My reason for this, is that the mare and foal might not know you well - therefore they cannot trust you. Maybe the mare is protecting her foal, or the foal is just plain curious. At the end of the day, the foal's mum, can tell the foal what to do, and what not to do.
So, go and see this mare and foal if you love them so much, and talk to them reassuringly, and take some nibbits - you can give them carrots, naglets, polo mints, apples and many more things!!
Enjoy!!
no
i dont understand
Horses are great Companions. Mares thend to be moody. While Foals are still curious and want to learn.
her foal you mean... foul is meaning something bad. they are friendly animals if they are socialized and know people. you need to ask the owners about giving them treats because she could be on a restricted diet you should never feed other people animals with out asking first. what is the question are they horses or ponys or are you just telling people about them. they are pretty friendly if they let you feed them over the fence but i suggest you dont go into the pasture and mess with them especially the baby cause mom might be protective and horses and be dangerous if you dont know what you doing around them.
ADDTION: chill out sheesh im not accusing you of anything you posted a very odd question so i was giving you information, Ididnt say you were stupid and was very curtious in my answer to your cryptic question. you didnt say if you had permission from the owners and i dont know you from adam so i was giving out suggestions... dont get your panties all bunched up... if i didnt say something some one else reading these might think its all good and dandy to walk up to strange horses and feed them foods they might not need to eat!
horses and ponies are the same breed. a horse is 14.3+ hands (a measurement) tall. A pony is 14.2 and less hands tall. Carotts are a treat for them and the mare, probably older and more experienced comes and eats them, then doesn't care. The foal probably being younger (foal- baby horse) is more curious about you so he stays and wants more.
Horses and ponies are very friendly animals. However they can be very shy. Foals are a bit more curious ...
I would advise not to feed them with high energy food stuff such as carrot, apple or bread. They can develop a dreadful disease called laminitis if overfed.
Horses and ponies are both generally friendly and curious. However, those that have bad experiences or were treated poorly may find it hard to trust people. This is probably why the mare wanders off after getting her treat. Try not to take it personally. Foals are new to the world and haven't had bad experiences yet which why he stays. Horses and ponies are not the same breed, they are the same species.
please don't swear. and yes horses are ponies.
