THE HORSES

The horse is one of the most beautiful animals of the planet, is very interesting to say that the man began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed widespread by 3000 BC. This kind of animal can live about 25 to 30 years. The English-speaking world measures the height of horses in hands, abbreviated "h" or "hh", for "hands high", a horse described as "15.2 h", is 15 hands, 2 inches (62 in/160 cm) in height. The size of horses varies by breed, but can also be influenced by nutrition. Pregnancy lasts for approximately 335–340 days,
Horses four years old are considered mature, although the skeleton normally continues to develop until the age of six.

Exist another kind of this animals of this family for example the monkey, the zebra, the kiang and one hibrid is the mula. We have to remember that the horse was utilised as transporting way, for sports and like a domestical animal. I love this animal because is elegant, strong and nice.
