    An adult male horse that can NOT reproduce is called a...

    • Stallion

    • Mare

    • Colt

    • Gelding

    Correct Answer
    A. Gelding
    Explanation
    A male horse that has been castrated and is therefore unable to reproduce is called a gelding. Castration involves the removal of the testicles, which eliminates the horse's ability to produce sperm and impregnate mares. Geldings are often chosen for riding and work purposes due to their generally calmer temperament and lack of reproductive behaviors.

    Which is NOT part of an english saddle?

    • Kimberwick

    • Stirrup irons

    • Cantle

    • Pommel

    Correct Answer
    A. Kimberwick
    Explanation
    The kimberwick is not part of an English saddle. The stirrup irons, cantle, and pommel are all components of an English saddle. The stirrup irons are used for the rider to place their feet in, the cantle is the raised part at the back of the saddle, and the pommel is the raised part at the front of the saddle. However, the kimberwick is a type of bit used in horse riding, not a part of the saddle itself.

    Pinto is not a breed of horse, but rather a coat color pattern. It is characterized by large patches of white and another color, such as black or brown. Breeds like Paint and Azteca can have pinto coat patterns, but they are distinct breeds themselves. Percheron, on the other hand, is a breed of draft horse.
