Horses!

I love horses, i think they are great.
A baby horse is called a foal, a male foal is called a colt and a female foal is called a filly, an adult male is called a Stallion and a adult female is called a Mare.
There are many different breeds of horses, the different breeds excell in different things. For example a Hanoverian will excell in jumping, a Thoroughbred will excell in galloping and speed.
There are also Quater horses, Canadien horse, Lippanzear(SP) and Appaloosa plus more.

Horses can be used in a variety of sports....including Showjumping(Fave)Dressage(Borin)Polo and Cross Country.
Britains most famous family for Equestrian sports is the Whitickar(sp) family.

The whitickar(sp) family do the Poissonce(sp) which is showjumping, but it is in stages and the people who knock a jump down are out, also as you progress the jumps get higher. It is a very hard competition.

Showjumping is simple........all you do is ride around an arena in a paticular order and jump the jumps in order....if you knock one down it is a penalty.

Cross-Country is also simple.....you have to go cross-country and jump a variety of jumps along the way.

Dressage is very complicated.......you have to ride around doing a certain sequence of complicated moves.
