Can a 15 year old girl legally own a horse?

The reason I'm asking is because of my nephew got this beautiful sorrel and white stud colt and wants to keep it a stallion, but his parents wont let him. If she can't own him, what are some tips for keeping him a stud or finding some ways to change her mind, etc.?

Can a 15 year old girl legally own a horse?
Horse owner I was and have been for years. Yes they can. But now there is a new question-is the horse on his own land--no. Is there a safety feature-yes. Is there an insurance problem for the parents-yes. He can own it but his parents have every right to say no to anything that pertains to their land and safety and cost.
Reply:It is legal to purchase many things prior to the age of 18 perhaps even a horse. However, persons under the age of 18 are not legally recognized as "owners" of real property regardless of whether they paid for it or not. Their parents or legal guardians are recognized by the courts as the "owners" of any real property purchased by them.
Reply:a stallion is not the kind of animal for a young person ,they are very dangerous and need a very strong hand to control them


why do you think everybody gelds their horses


a very experienced horse handler got his hands full with a stallion .


what happens if she goes out riding and the horse jumps over cars (denting them)maybe knocks a by stander over ,to get to a mare he likes or a horse he wants to beat up


is your´re friend insured


keep the stallion in a very secure corral to start of with.


As far as ownership is concerned ,i think a 2 month old baby can own a horse if someone has given it to him





everybody can own a horse ,if they got the place for it


if they should is something else
Reply:If your nephew is a girl then someone is lying to you as this never happens. Girls can be nieces but not nephews.


Anyway He/she should listen to the parents instead of trying to go against them.


They have the responsibility to protect him/her from his/her own ignorance.


If the child doesn't understand the dangers of keeping a horse he/she shouldn't have one.
Reply:No you cant own anything legally until you are 18. The parents are in charge.
Reply:I think it is fine but check with the court house.


What should i name the new baby paint?

THE NEW BABY IS A COLT AND HE IS SORREL AND WHITE. I WANT THE NAME TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIS PARENTS NAMES, JENNY AND TANK. HE LIKES TO RUN FROM JENNY AND WORRY HER. HES GOING TO BE A ROPE HORSE AND I NEED TO START WORKING WITH HIM SOON BEFORE HE GOES WILD, SO I NEED A NAME TO CALL HIM BY.

What should i name the new baby paint?
Small Block,as in the small block Mustang engine.
Reply:If it can be a made up name; an amalgamation of Jenny+Tank then I have a name for you! Tanny; kinda sissy but there you go!
Reply:How about Jank??





Do the sire and dam have registered names and will the foal be registered? You could come up with a combination of their registered names.





How about Flame? Mischief? Jenta? Tajen?
Reply:Tank Jenny.
Reply:Tucker sounds good to me
Reply:How about Tange Pronounced Tan Gee
Reply:Paint
Reply:Jecassank. Jenny+Tank+Picasso( to refer to the paint) Good luck with the baby!


Anyone familiar with horse color genetics?

I had a filly born last night that is 100% white with pink skin and blue eyes. All the skin is pink, no color markings anywhere. The sire was a black and white tovero (about 80% white), and the dam is a sorrel paint with only about 15% white on her, both sire and dam have blue eyes. What are the chances of a pure white, pink-skinned foal being born? Just curious.

Anyone familiar with horse color genetics?
I'm 99.9% sure it's impossible for your foal to be cremello. The genes don't work that way, a black horse and a chestnut horse can't produce a horse with two copies of the cream gene since they have none of that gene themselves. It is possible for a horse with a black base color to have one dose of the cream gene and still look black (since in the single dilute form cream doesn't really affect black), but your foal would still have to get the second dose of the gene from somewhere and it's not going to be coming from the dam. So basically, if your foal turned out buckskin or palomino, this would make sense, but not cremello.





Therefore your options are these: either a maximum expression paint, or lethal white. If it's lethal white, well, you'll know since the foal will not survive. If the foal is healthy, that rules that out. What pattern is your mare? If she's overo, than lethal white is a definitely possibility. If she's not, then you have nothing to worry about.





It's totally possible for a paint to be solid white, it's happened before. It's just the maximum expression of the gene that causes paint markings, it's so extreme that it completely covers the body.


This website has a picture of a maximum expression paint (scroll down to the bottom of the page) along with more information on the difference between lethal white and cremellos, :

Reply:Paints can produce cremellos, though from a black and white horse it would be unusual. That horse must not have had a dominate gene with Black. It is totally possible that it's a cremello horse. I'm almost sure it's a cremello. Congrates.
Reply:hey well firstly congrats!!! and ooo did u no that bay foals are first born white then they go dapple and then bay!!! its like that whith lippazannas they are born bay then go dappled and then white... she is olny a day or say old so dont stresss bout if if u are worried call in a vet to check it out but im sure its fine





and remeber it may not have been a high percent chance of her being white but there is always theta chance!!!





enjoy her
Reply:Well she could possibly be pure white when she is older, but there is a 50% chance that she'll change color as she grows. (Trust me I'm a horse expert!)
Reply:Sounds like a cream horse. Happens with paints. Its not unusual.
Reply:Now that I see your horse does have overo in its lines it is even more likely that it is a lethal white. I hope not be it sure sounds like it could be. Please let us know what happens.
Reply:After seeing this post about the type of horses bred, it is deffinitly more likely to be a lethal white. To the person that stated it could be a cremello: this is a good thought, and could be possible, but is very unlikley. A cremello foal is slightly colored, they have a hint of creme to their color. Also any white markings are visible on a cremello, you can tell the difference between a star on its head to the rest of its body. A lethal white is pure white, with no visible markings.


A cremello would be very unusual out of these two parents. Having an all white, non lethal white is possible, although it is rare.

What are some good foal names?

I have a mare that is due to foal in May of 2008 and it will be her last foal.


I want the name to be special and unique.


The sire is a dun quarter horse and the dam is a sorrel quarter horse.


dam: lady poco do glow


sire: Blackburn Dun Sliden

What are some good foal names?
Hoof-hearted......
Reply:What is there personality like? Chosse something that you think suits them. If one calm you might call it grace. If one is strong you might call it lightnig, or storm, or freedom. Spirit, destiny, song, wind. Whatever you think works well for them.

Why is my horse changing colors?

I bought my buttermilk buckskin in January 2007 when he was 10 years old. He had dark hair on his neck and it faded when summer came. Last summer he was almost white, but this summer he's changing to a sorrel brown color. I have never seen him this color before. It's really pretty, but I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else before. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks a bunch!

Why is my horse changing colors?
My horse has changed colors three times! When I got him he was bleached out from great sun exposure and was the color of a Nez Perce. When the season changed from summer to fall, he turned a dark coffee color with just a hint of cream (he's sabiano which is often confused with roaning, hence the cream) as his coat grew in - it seemed like it happened literally over night! Wild! The change was amazing. He got darker and darker and we think it was due to all the nutrition he was finally getting. I recently clipped him and he looks like a grayish-brownish-mauve. Yeah, sounds really weird, I know. The darkening of your horse's coat probably come from all the good stuff you feed him! Plus love. Sounds beautiful.

Reply:i had a palomino that changed colors throughout the seasons...it was really cool...in the winter he was very light almost white...and in the summer he was a very dark palomino color(just beautiful) and in spring in fall he was in between the two...dont worry it happens
Reply:sun-weather in general and a change in feed can all influence(to a degree) a horse's colour
Reply:I'm just guessing but from experience I'd say it is either from change in his environment or he is just a baby and is maturing. As a young(baby) horse matures he/she sheds the baby fur and the permanent color comes through after a couple years.
Reply:I all has to do with the sun, temperature, and rainfall where you live. I know that horses change coat colors when they shed after the winter, but if it is different than last summer's coat, then I guess it's just what happened.
Reply:Hair color changes with the amount of UV rays that the hair is exposed to. It's very likely that it's just the amount of sun it's getting. If you're really concerned about it call a vet.
Reply:is he the horse of a different color fon the wizzard of oz? no jk its cuz hes sheding.

Choices for trees to plant in bed directly in front of house?
You should really look into crabapple trees...
Reply:Silver birches are boring, in fact i´m sick of the sight of them. They tend to get blown down easily too.
Reply:My choice would be the Kilmarock Willow. Grows no higher than 4 to 5 feet max.
Reply:I don't know all of the trees, what you must find out are the extent of their roots. They can destroy the foundations of your house if they are planted too near the property.
Reply:I would go for an evergreen tree that doesn't have a lot of leaf/flower litter. You dont want anything too big, so the size of your choices are just right. There are some quick growing shrubs that grow as tall as a tree and are evergreen. Viburnum comes to mind. I have them as a screening next to a side wall and they are perfect. Silver Birches are lovely trees that look good even in winter, when they have lost their leaves.
Reply:Tulip tree's get very large and provide wonderful shade in a few short years. It depends on how large of a tree you would like. They are beautiful.
Reply:The jacharanda tree has beautiful purple flowers! I'm not sure the spelling is correct though
