    Horses with leg problems often improve dramatically if taken off a clay floor and put onto a concrete one.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that horses with leg problems improve when moved from a clay floor to a concrete one. However, this answer is incorrect. Horses with leg problems actually benefit from being on softer surfaces, such as clay or sand, as it reduces the impact on their joints and minimizes the risk of further injury. Concrete floors, on the other hand, are harder and can exacerbate leg problems in horses. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Living in a noisy unpleasant yard may cause the horse to _______.

    • Eat bedding and droppings

    • Tearing clothing and bandages

    • Refuse to lie down

    Correct Answer
    A. Refuse to lie down
    Explanation
    Living in a noisy unpleasant yard can be stressful for a horse, as they are sensitive animals. The constant noise and unpleasant environment may make it difficult for the horse to relax and feel comfortable enough to lie down. As a result, the horse may refuse to lie down, preferring to stay on its feet in order to remain alert and ready to respond to any potential threats or disturbances.

    For a horse to be in soft condition or fit, he must be fed a high protein diet and undergo a well planned programme of exercise.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A horse can be in soft condition or fit without necessarily needing a high protein diet and a well-planned exercise program. While these factors can contribute to a horse's fitness, there are other ways to achieve soft condition or fitness, such as proper grooming, regular veterinary care, and providing a balanced diet with appropriate amounts of all essential nutrients. Therefore, the statement is false.

    There are three ways of keeping horses which includes: (Select two)

    • At grass all day and night.

    • Stabled all day and night except for brief exercise and/or grazing periods.

    • The combined system: "10 hours at grass "10 hours stabled.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. At grass all day and night.
    A. Stabled all day and night except for brief exercise and/or grazing periods.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is At grass all day and night and Stabled all day and night except for brief exercise and/or grazing periods. This means that horses can be kept either in open pastures all day and night or in stables all day and night, with the exception of short periods for exercise and grazing. This allows for a balance between providing the horses with access to fresh air and grazing, while also ensuring their safety and providing them with regular exercise.
