An American launch rocket in 1947 carried several fruit flies to measure radiation effects, some of these returned alive.

June 14, 1949 the US launched a rhesus monkey (Albert II) in to space, but was killed when the craft crashed on landing. A subsequent misison (Albert III) had the monkey return alive.

August 31, 1950 the US launched a mouse (Albert V) in to space which returned alive.

January 29, 1951 the Soviet Union launched two dogs (Tsygan and Dezik) into space, both returned alive.

Who was the first American to go into suborbital flight and which rockets was used?

The first animal to make a suborbital space flight from American soil was Albert, a rhesus monkey. He flew on a V2 rocket and suffocated on his way. Another monkey named Albert II made a successful journey, but died from impact on its return. The first Human American that made a sub orbital flight was Alan Shepard in May 5, 1961, who later Commanded Apollo 14. He flew in a Redstone rocket during his sub-orbital flight.


What was the first thing to go to space and return alive?

The first living things to go to space and return alive were fruit flies, in 1947. Later, the first monkey to reach space was Albert II, in 1949. Unfortunately, Albert II died during recovery, due to a parachute failure. In 1960, the USSR launched Sputnik 5, carrying two dogs, Belka and Strelka. This was the first launch to carry animals into orbit and successfully return them alive. In fact, one of Strelka's pups, Pushinka, conceived and born after her return from space, was given to Caroline Kennedy by Nikita Kruschev in 1961.

What does a horse do if it sees danger?

Horses are what is called a 'flight or fight' animal. When in a dangerous situation his first choice will be to run or 'flight'. When flight is not an option for whatever reason he will have no choice but to fight. I don't know about you but I don't want to fight with an animal that is 10x bigger than myself.
