∙ 8y agoHorses are large, hoofed mammals. Mammals are the only animals to give birth to live young, drink milk and have fur. Horses probably originated from Europe and slowly made their way through other parts of the world. They were first used for pulling heavy weights and in sports; such as hunting. These days, horses a commonly used for riding in other sports, such as: racing, polo, jumping, dressage, shows, hunting, etc. Horses also vary in colours and sizes, meaning they aren't all the same. Horses, or ponies, can be found at 8 hh to 18 hh in height and come in a variety of colours such as: Chestnut, Bay, Pinto, Palamino, White, Black, Appaloosa, Buckskin, etc.
Horses' anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Related to this need to flee from predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down. Female horses, called mares, carry their young for approximately 11 months, and a young horse, called a foal, can stand and run shortly following birth. Most domesticated horses begin training under saddle or in harness between the ages of two and four. They reach full adult development by age five, and have an average lifespan of between 25 and 30 years.
