Horses don't have fur they have hair
horse hair
Horses are mammals. They have short fur. It's been a long time since I actually touched a horse, but their fur is about a medium on the scale of coarseness verses softness.
it is made out of fur
Of course they are. They also have hair called fur on top of the skin.
Yes way! Horse's 'Fur" Is called hair, so it's all over their body
It seems strange, but horses do have feathers. There are on the back of the lower leg to absorb water! They are not the type of feathers that a bird would have, but a type of hair.
This is called the mane. The hair that dangles between a horse's ears is called the forelock.
Cows are mammals. All mammals have a body covering of skin, fur or hair. In the cow's case, the body covering is skin and hair.
Hair and fur are both composed primarily of collagen, and contain no living cells. They are structurally similar, but differ in thickness and distribution. Some authorities make the distinction that hair grows continuously (although it eventually reaches a maximum length and falls out), whereas fur grows to a fixed length and stops.- - - - - -Scientific American published an interview in 2001, with an expert mammologist from the New York American Museum of Natural History, where the question of the difference between hair and fur was asked. The short answer is, "no difference"). It's very interesting, and can be found here:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-is-the-difference-beWhether it is referred to as "hair", or "fur"; how long it grows; and whether it ever stops growing, is based :- first on the species of mammal involved(for example, neck hair on horses, versus neck hair on cats)- then - if there are breeds of that mammal - on the breed(for example, the length of neck hair/fur on Siamese cats versus length of neck hair/fur on Persian cats, or length of neck hair/fur on Friesian or Andalusian horses , or Appaloosa horses )- and finally on the genetics of the individuals themselves.When, or if, the hair/fur in a certain area ever stops growing, depends on the type of hair/fur it is.Whether fur/hair is shed, depends on all of the above, as well.See also:What_is_the_difference_between_hair_and_fur
A horse has much softer hair than a donkey with the exception of when donkeys are babies. When they are born they have very soft fur like a rabbit which changes into a wiry type hair more like what a zebra has after they shed out the first time.
no, a horse grows fur in the spring, wich is it's summer hair, in the fall it looses it's summer hair and gets bushier hair for winter.
