Palomino's are just a color, so it would depend on the actual breeding, but horses usually live to be 30 years (max' give or take)
About 10 days after foaling, a mare will have a "foal heat". Although this is not a perfect time (because of decreased fertility and increased risk of early embryonic death) - this is the first time after foaling that a mare can be covered.
In the cold months many mares show no signs of heat. But as the days grow longer and the temperature climbs mares have more obvious signs of heat. Every mare is different but they have a cycle about once every 4 to 6 weeks on average. Some mares have cycles closer together, some not as often. If the mare is bred and becomes pregnant she will have no more heat cycles until what is called 'foal heat' after her foal is born.
actually shadowfax is an andulasian which is a spanish breed of horse...
if a horse is being ridden often in early pregnancy, it can be lightly ridden all throughout. i have know of people whose mare dropped a foal in the horsefloat on the way to a show and people who have done four hour walking trailrides the day before the mare foaled
No don't worry at all, your horse will definitely be fine with a goat. Goats and horse get along fine together and there will not be any health problems so do not worry along as both of them are kept healthy.
If a stallion is exposed to an inflamatory process that kills all his sperm it takes about 55-57 days to produce new, viable sperm.
A colt generally begins producing sperm at 18 to 24 months.
i got a cherry bay coat color
Gray is independent of base coat color. If the stallion is heterozygous for grey there is a 50% chance that the foal will be gray. If the stallion is homozygous for grey the foal will be gray. If the stallion has only one gray parent then he is heterozygous.
That being said, the base coat color of a gray/color of a non-gray foal can be partially
extrapolated from the parents/grandparents/great grandparents.
Yes; The average gestation period is 340 days, but a healthy gestation period can be as short as about 310 days, or as long as about 370. Much shorter than 310 days can lead to the foal being deformed or still born.
A mare can be bred as early as her first season which occurs between about 9 and 12 months of age. It is NOT recommened as she is still growing herself. And a mare can continue to breed into her 20's if in good health. A mare can produce one foal per year.
Month 1 = Weeks 1-4 Month 2 = Weeks 5-8 Month 3 = Weeks 9-13 Month 4 =
Weeks 14-17 Month 5 = Weeks 18-21 Month 6 = Weeks 22-26 Month 7 = Weeks
27-30 Month 8 = Weeks 31-35 Month 9 = Weeks 36-40
You have to raise your horse's stats up quite high.
Which means you have to care for it a lot and improve it's resistance, Skill and Jump. When you have enough stars then go to Luc and you have to choose which horse to breed with. I hoped that helped :).
Then I guess that means you have the responsibility of making sure that foal does get enough milk, and that means bottle-feeding it yourself.
In addition to the above answer, if the foal is old enough it would be better to feed the foal a milk re-placer from a bucket rather than a bottle. If the mare seems to be having trouble during nursing you should call an equine vet to come out and check the mare, she might have an infection that is making it painful for her to have the foal nursing and she pushes it away too soon. A lack of milk can also be caused by improper nutrition during pregnancy. This can be remedied a bit by adding alfalfa to the diet which will provide extra nutrients to the mare and allow for better milk production.
How many foals an Arabian horse can have in its life is not an easy answer. How many foals an Arabian horse SHOULD have is very different.
An Arabian filly may rarely conceive at only 1 yr of age, though that pregnancy may take her life. If she breeds until she is 25 she will have 25 foals, so long as there are no twins or foal losses. This is neither safe nor expected of any horse.
An Arabian stallion may rarely begin breeding at 1 yr of age and can sometimes breed until they are in their 30's. Hundreds of foals may be born to a stallion during any given year, so the number is impossible to say, since it is nearly infinite. Without medical assistance, a stallion may be over-bred however, and this practice can severely shorten his life. With medical assistance each individual sperm may conceive a foal, and with hundreds of thousands of sperm in each ejaculate, the numbers get high very quickly.
An individual Thoroughbred cannot have more than two different alleles for each gene locus, one on each chromosome.
How many alleles are available at a certain gene locus is variable based on what the gene controls and how many alleles are available and their frequency in the population.
Horses are not involved in the field of genetics so do not protect it. Neither do they protect traditional breeding, they simply indulge in it through instinct.
Some mares are already in milk before the foal is born. It is generally only maiden mares or early foaling mares that take more time for their milk to come in.
Shire horses are very strong animals, so they are very useful. They deliverd heavy things like logs of wood, coal, water and food, and other supplies.
If the black and white mare is aaEe and bred to a cremello stallion --eeCrCr the foal
produced will be smokey black, buckskin, palomino based on the stallion's genetics at
the Agouti site.
If the mare is aaEE the foal will be smokey black, buckskin...no palomino foals.
The type(s) of pattern genetics the mare carries will determine the spotting pattern of the foal (or lack there of).
The Jockey Club definition of roan is essentially the same as grey...which would mean that there would be a 75% to 100% chance of a horse that gradually turns white over a period of years reguardless of it's base coat color.
If roan has true roan (Rn) genetics and the other parent is grey (G) we know that each parent has a 50% chance of transmitting their dominant gene (if both are heterozygous). This means that 25% chance of Roan 25% chance of Grey 25% chance of both Grey and Roan and a 25% chance of the foal being the base color only (base color could be black, chestnut, bay etc based on the parent's genetics at the Agouti and Extension sites).
If one parent is homozygous the foal have that characteristic 100% of the time and the foal will also have the other characteristic 50% of the time.
A Cattle Ranch normally use Mustang or Quater Horses.
But it can vary, depending on the breed with agility and speed.
If a breeding ranch- normally the owner decided a particular horse breed to use.
