A horses heart does the same thing that it does for us. It flows blood through the body and keeps your body going. However a heart is not shaped like a heart. It is a little heart shaped but it is very,very bloody so you can't tell. It beats rather hard when you hold it in your hand, but you can't feel it very well on the outside of your body. That is what the heart does for horses.
