You should do the research yourself. You will learn more by researching it than us just telling you the answers.

1 - in the norhtern hemisphere thoroughbreds are taken from january 1st. in the southern hemisphere ( i think) it is august 1st (im not totally positive on that second part!!! - find an aussie - they'll know)!!!

2. a small mark on the muzzle

4 - True (again i THINK). it focussed much victorian attention on the raw deal given to horses during their work especially those used as taxis in cities and hauling enormous loads in various industries etc.

6. hmm, not sure... sorry!!! might be quite easy to find out tho if you google "oldest horse breed" or check out those breed society pages on the web.

8. the part of the neck just behind the ears

9. not sure as im from uk - some sort of national park maybe?? again, look up mustangs on line im sure itll tell u.

good luck!!!!
