Categories edit
Any reason this article is in Category:Types of horses? Ealdgyth | Talk 19:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Same as mare, gelding, yearling, etc... no real place for "ways of describing horses that aren't described by breed or color." "Types" is sort of a generic catch-all category. Montanabw(talk) 04:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- That works, but we should really change the category description then. Or maybe we need a "Horse Lingo Definitions" category. Ealdgyth | Talk 04:47, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Another day, another project. It is more than vocabulary, the big articles (mare, stallion, gelding) are pretty substantive. But I know that weanlings and war horses are pretty different, agreed there. I don't know the full answer to this question, my brain is fried. Maybe in a few weeks brilliance will strike.

baby donkey edit
If the mother donkey dies and the colt was born on April 9th, 2011 can the colt survive on it's on? It will be 3 months old on July 9. Thanks, Cheryl — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.56.56.6 (talk) 22:01, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Merge proposal edit
I don't think there's enough material available for a stand-alone article, and this should be merged into the Foal article.--Miniapolis (talk) 17:52, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe, though the intent was to have an article applicable for ALL animals, not just horses. For example, we have yearling and yearling (horse). My thinking is to expand this one so it isn't just about horses, but includes other animals that can be called weanlings at this stage of their life. Montanabw(talk) 17:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
