Zebra

[Mid]

<font color="339999">Anyone out there own a zebra? I had a chat to a girl on a game I used to play who had a zebra colt, and seeing a couple up for sale on Horsedeals jerked my memory!

Seems absurd, but I'd love to know more about owning and training them!

Thankies,
~Mid </font>

I almost bougth one but the consensus is they are bloody stubborn, moody and pretty useless - not my thing at all.

A friend of mine has one, he seems to get on pretty well with it.

id love to have a zebra! think it would probably get the better of me though
could you imagine the look on people's face walking down the road riding a zebra!
i saw a pair in horse deals a while ago for £3500 each werent rideable, but had been lead in headcollar and some basic groud work

thanks for the pic GTS ive never actually seen anyone riding one!

 

[Weezy]

That pic is sooooooooooooooooo Photoshopped!

I heard that more zoo keepers are killed by zebras than lions!!! I also thought thay you couldnt domesticate them

 

[GTs]

Weezy mine?? No not at all - the Zebra belongs to the son of the guy who shipped Stella and Clarita.

xxcharlottexx - a zebra will not walk down the street like a horse will, the are not as domesticated as horses and are not very brave.

There is one breed that is domesticated a certain amount. The rest are not (or so I believe).

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Hmmm on second thoughts guna take a zebra off the list....

 

[GTs]

Your horse is pretty much a smudge zebra anyways

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

lol

 

[meandmyself]

I didn't think you could ride them. Seem to remember being told that they can't carry any weight?

 

[rrose]

lol, you would stand out at a show

 

[Mid]

Hang on, I'll try and find the link!

[JessPickle]

Just a thought, native americans tamed and rode their horses, so why havent native africans tamed and rode their zebras, or am i being thick!!!!!!!!!!! lol

 

[GTs]

My picture is not photoshopped - I assure you!! That is Jared riding his Zebra, I had a long chat to his father about the zebra, and saw other pictures of it when I picked up my horses.

I realised I hadn't updated anyone who might be interested to know what the vet said when Patches was examined.

That is a myth - infact their backs are stronger than horses.

Here's the link! It's horse-deals: http://www.horsedeals.co.uk/bigjump2.aspx?horseid=4025

-wants a little zebra foal- x3 They're supposed to be very stubborn, though... And expensive! Still... If I move to a house with land...

"Seem to remember being told that they can't carry any weight?"

Zebra are pretty strong! And can be domesticated, to some extent. They're really a lot like our native ponies! Due to their size, though, it's unlikely an adult could ride one, and they're too stubborn for children, so people generally stick with ponies x3

As long as they were bred in captivity I wouldn't mind getting one... Or rather, a pair, so I could drive them!

Anyone remember the film 'Racing Stripes'
