About Horses
Horses are ungulates — mammals with hooves. They also have long tails, short hair, muscular torsos, long thick necks and elongated heads. Due to domestication, they are found all over the world.

There are more than 400 different breeds of horses. Horses can be as big as 175 centimeters from hoof to shoulder and weigh as much as 998 kilograms. Tiny horses exist, too. The smallest breeds of horses can be as small as 76 centimeters from hoof to shoulder and weigh only 54 kg.

Horses are found in almost every country in the world and every continent except Antarctica.

Horses are very social animals. They live in groups called herds. In the wild, horses will live in herds that consist of three to 20 animals and are lead by a mature male, which is called a stallion.

Horses are herbivores. This means they only eat vegetation. Typically, horses eat grass, but domesticated horses are often fed bran, rolled oats, barley and hay.

Horses have live births after around 11 months of gestation. Horse offspring are called foals. The foal is able to stand soon after birth and becomes mature at 3 to 5 years of age.

A male horse is called a stallion, a female horse is called a mare, a young male horse is called a colt and a young female horse is called a filly.

Domestic horses have a lifespan of around 25 years.
