  • 2. 

    Never stand immediately in front or behind the horse.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Standing immediately in front or behind a horse can be dangerous as horses have a tendency to kick out when they feel threatened or startled. By standing to the side or at a safe distance, you can avoid being in the line of fire if the horse were to kick out. Therefore, it is true that you should never stand immediately in front or behind a horse.

    Good conformation of limbs may contribute to lameness.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Good conformation of limbs actually helps to prevent lameness. When a horse has correct limb conformation, it means that their legs are aligned properly, reducing the risk of stress and strain on the joints, tendons, and ligaments. This helps to ensure that the horse moves correctly and efficiently, minimizing the chances of lameness. Therefore, the statement that good conformation of limbs may contribute to lameness is false.

    The age of the horse is determined by looking at the molars in each jaw.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The age of a horse is not solely determined by looking at the molars in each jaw. While examining the teeth can provide some information about a horse's age, it is not the only factor taken into consideration. Other factors such as the condition of the horse's teeth, overall health, and physical appearance are also important in determining the age of a horse. Therefore, the statement is false.
