Two year old animals are called colts if they are male, or fillies if they are female. When horses reach five years of age, they become stallions if they are un-neutered males, geldings if they are neutered males, and mares if they are females. All horses share the same birth-date of January 1st, no matter when they were born. That evolving species died out, but not before its descendants crossed the land bridge between North America and Asia. Once there it evolved over 50 million years to become the horse we know today.
Albino horses are the only true white horses.
All white horses descended from Old King, an albino horse whose offspring were always born white, regardless of the mare's colour. Along with the people who compete at rodeos like the Kispiox, the stock that takes part is often over shadowed by the riders themselves. She said a lot of work goes into making sure the stock is in good shape for each and every rodeo. One of Joy Allen's Rough-Stock trying to eat our photographer's sweater. The stock used at the Kispiox rodeo has also competed at professional rodeos south of the border.
