I just want to thank @FlyingStunner again for this contest. The show horses I won have pushed my bonus to just shy of 2k, and the money helped me get an extra barn to organize my show ponies. Thank you so much for doing this!

EdgyEmu · Jan 28, 2018 5:46 PM

Haflinger?

Flying Stunner · Jan 28, 2018 11:27 PM

Sassycass is correct with Morab.

Clue #10 is another breed.
High stepping elegance that was breed in Great Britain for carriage driving. In 1542, King Henry VIII required some of his subjects to keep the stallions for breeding. The breed's brilliant gaits kept it from extinction, and is known for success in show jumping and dressage.
What is this flashy breed?

You're welcome Zef; giving can be just as much fun as receiving. :)

EdgyEmu · Jan 29, 2018 1:21 AM

Hackney?

Flying Stunner · Jan 29, 2018 3:01 AM

That is correct EdgyEmu!

Clue #11 is horse medicine.
This can be used as a sedative, appetite stimulant, and improve a stallion's breeding behavior if he is shy.
Name this medication/drug.

Skylight · Jan 29, 2018 4:10 AM

Diazepam

Painted Dreams · Jan 29, 2018 5:14 AM

Cyproheptadine?

Wj sport ponies · Jan 29, 2018 8:28 AM

Diazepam

EdgyEmu · Jan 29, 2018 9:18 AM

Wow, thank you, Flying Stunner! :)

lynn894 · Jan 29, 2018 10:21 AM

Diazepam

sassycass · Jan 29, 2018 10:36 AM

Woo! Thank you:)

ConvivialityFarm · Jan 29, 2018 1:49 PM

Acepromazine?

Flying Stunner · Jan 29, 2018 2:00 PM

Diazepam is right, and Skyelight answered first.

Clue #12 is from a movie.
This uncle and nephew go head to head in a race. The uncle is portrayed as towering over his nephew, but this is historically incorrect.
Who are these relatives, and how tall were they?

squeakerblue · Jan 29, 2018 10:04 PM

The Movie is Seabiscuit (2003)

Seabiscuit vs War Admiral. War Admiral (By Man 'o War, out of Brushup) was half brother to Hard Tack (By Man 'o War, out of Tea Biscuit), who was Seabiscuit's Sire. Seabiscuit and War Admiral were both about 15.2 hands tall. Seabiscuit also outweighed War Admiral by about 80 lbs at the time of the race.

In the Movie, War Admiral is portrayed as almost 18 hands tall.

Flying Stunner · Jan 29, 2018 10:20 PM

Yes indeed Squeakerblue! I didn't think that any one would get it.

Clue #13 is Horse Art/History.
He sits astride a powerful steed, balanced on his back feet. As a show of his strength, this man would often break horse shoes with his bare hands! This monument stands in Dresden, Germany.
Who is this man?

squeakerblue · Jan 29, 2018 10:58 PM

It took a minute to figure out.

I know #13 too, but since I won the last one, I won't answer

EquinoxLake · Jan 29, 2018 11:51 PM

August the strong

Flying Stunner · Jan 30, 2018 4:12 AM

EquinoxLake is correct.

Clue #14 is Horse Art/History again.
This monument has a man offering a bucket of water/food to a horse. It says that a nation is not measured by size, but by it's compassion.
After what war was this monument built, and where does it stand?

SeekingSerenity · Jan 30, 2018 4:36 AM

oops

ConvivialityFarm · Jan 30, 2018 5:07 AM

The second Boer War and it stands in Port Elizabeth, South Africa

lynn894 · Jan 30, 2018 5:24 AM

Second Boer War, and is located in Port Elizabeth,South Africa

Flying Stunner · Jan 30, 2018 5:46 AM

Correct and correct, well done Conviviality.

Clue #14 is horse health.
The larynx fully opens at peak exercise provided the controlling muscles function properly. It is common that the left side become paralyzed, which results in reduced air flow.
What is this condition known as? Either name will suffice.

lynn894 · Jan 30, 2018 5:54 AM

laryngeal hemiplegia or known as "roaring."

Flying Stunner · Jan 30, 2018 3:02 PM

Yes Lynn894, that is correct.

Clue #15 is a horse breed.
They are well muscled, and willing to work. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Arabian blood was added. They have been used for forestry and farm work.
What breed do I refer to?

lynn894 · Jan 30, 2018 5:00 PM

Thank you :)

MoonAcre Stables · Jan 30, 2018 5:07 PM

Percheron

Edit: if I'm correct can I get my show ponies on my new account!?

ConvivialityShow · Jan 30, 2018 5:13 PM

Clydesdale?

Montesque · Jan 30, 2018 5:46 PM

Shire

DevilsParadise · Jan 30, 2018 6:17 PM

Percheron

Flying Stunner · Jan 31, 2018 1:29 AM

Moon, you are right with Percheron. Please send me a PM.

Clue #16 is horse sports.
This sport originated in the 16th century, and is highly controversial. This event is usually held in May or November.
What sport do I mean?

Xceptional · Jan 31, 2018 2:37 AM

Fox hunting?

Painted Dreams · Jan 31, 2018 5:09 AM

Fox hunting or Horse racing.

DevilsParadise · Jan 31, 2018 9:20 AM

Fox hunting

DragonRun · Jan 31, 2018 11:31 AM

steeplechase

ChilliFireFarm · Jan 31, 2018 11:42 AM

Must be fox hunting. In the Uk it runs Nov until April/May although it is supposed to be banned. I will be quiet now as my emotions may get the better of me :)

Flying Stunner · Jan 31, 2018 1:40 PM

That is correct Xceptional.
Chilli, I have never taken part in foxhunting, and I know it is (was) more commonplace in the UK than here in the US. I did not mean to get you riled up my friend.

Clue #17 is horse sports.
This sport is not professional, but is international to a degree; usually a fair/local favorite. It occurs in pairs or trios, never individually. The horses are always jittery, and in their anticipation, they will take off before they are ready; the men powerless to stop them. The horses usually go for only a short distance to reach their goal, and the next stage.
What is this dynamic "sport" called?

DevilsParadise · Jan 31, 2018 2:41 PM

Calf roping or steer wrestling

CWScowgirl87 · Jan 31, 2018 2:50 PM

Team roping?

jezmynespice1 · Jan 31, 2018 3:06 PM

Tie down roping

Flying Stunner · Jan 31, 2018 5:45 PM

Nope.

MoonAcre Stables · Jan 31, 2018 5:59 PM

Can I guess again even though I've already won? Lol

DragonRun · Jan 31, 2018 6:13 PM

Pony club games

Xceptional · Jan 31, 2018 6:13 PM

Thank you!

horsey2 · Jan 31, 2018 6:18 PM

Bulldozing?

DivineDreams · Jan 31, 2018 6:32 PM

Horse Pulls?

best friend · Jan 31, 2018 6:50 PM

Chuck wagon racing?

Flying Stunner · Jan 31, 2018 9:57 PM

DivineDreams is the winner! Horse/Draft pulls, I love watching the ripple of horse muscles during the pulls, such power.

Clue #18 is horse breed.
Established in 1812, this breed does well in many equestrian sports. They are bred in many European countries and the USA. Standing 15.2 to 16 hands, they are either Warmblood or Baroque confirmation.
Name this talented breed.
