The hole for the stud is plugged with cotton, rubber plugs, or a stud blank so dirt does not ruin the threads of the hole. Due to risk of injury, horses are not shipped in studs or left unattended with studs screwed in. Pointed studs, such as grass studs or pointed bullets are generally placed only on the outside of the shoe, so the horse is ...
The round pen, sometimes called a bullpen, is a round enclosure used for horse training. They range in diameter from a minimum of 30 feet (9.1 m) to a maximum of 100 feet (30 m), [1] with most designs 50 to 60 feet (15 to 18 m) in diameter. Footing is usually sand [2] or other soft dirt.
Thus, a horse that measures 60 inches is 15 hands high (15 × 4 = 60) and a horse halfway between 15 and 16 hands is 15.2 hands, or 62 inches tall (15 × 4 + 2 = 62) [5] [7] Because the subdivision of a hand is a base 4 system, a horse 64 inches high is 16.0 hands high, not 15.4. [2]
80 feet (24 m) from arena gate to timing line. 100 feet (30 m) from timing line to center of keyhole. Keyhole should be 4 feet (1.2 m) across at the entrance, 10 feet (3.0 m) from the entrance of the keyhole to the bulb. The bulb itself should be 20 feet (6.1 m) across. The pattern may also be made of cones or poles set up in a similar pattern.

Horses are used to measure distances in horse racing – a horse length (shortened to merely a length when the context makes it obvious) equals roughly 8 feet or 2.4 metres. Shorter distances are measured in fractions of a horse length ; also common are measurements of a full or fraction of a head , a neck , or a nose .
Lemons are hybrids of sour oranges and citrons, but they aren't man-made. The hybridization happened thousands of years ago naturally, with bees carrying the pollen between sour oranges to citrons.
A human podiatrist is not a M.D. with an interest in feet, but a separate profession with a unique education and licensing system. The use of this term within the equine community has no distinct mandatory education or certification.
