The horse (Equus ferus c extant subspecies of Equus ferus. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal
belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years
from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began
domesticating horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by
3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations
live in the wild as feral horses. These fere horse (Equus ferus caballus)[2][3] is one of two extant
subspecies of Equus ferus. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family
Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature,
Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began domesticating horses around 4000
BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies
caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses.
These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have colors,
markings, breeds never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate
subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used
to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors,
markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.
Horses are adapted to run, allowing them to quickly escape predators, possessing an excellent sense of
balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Related to this need to flee from predators in the wild is
an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down, with younger horses tending
to sleep significantly more than adults.[4] Female horses, called mares, carry their young for
approximately 11 months, and a young horse, called a foal, can stand and run shortly following birth.
Most domesticated horses begin training under a saddle or in a harness between the ages of two and
four. They reach full adult development by age five, and have an average lifespan of between 25 and
30 years.
Horse breeds are loosely divided into three categories based on general temperament: spirited "hot
bloods" with speed and endurance; "cold bloods", such as draft horses and some ponies, suitable for
slow, heavy work; and "warmbloods", developed from crosses between hot bloods and cold bloods,
often focusing on creating breeds for specific riding purposes, particularly in Europe. There are more
than 300 breeds of horse in the world today, developed for many different uses.
Horses and humans interact in a wide variety of sport competitions and non-competitive recreational
pursuits, as well as in working activities such as police work, agriculture, entertainment, and therapy.
Horses were historically used in warfare, from which a wide variety of riding and driving techniques
developed, using many different styles of equipment and methods of control. Many products are
derived from horses, including meat, milk, hide, hair, bone, and pharmaceuticals extracted from the
urine of pregnant mares. Humans provide domesticated horses with food, water, and shelter, as well as
attention from specialists such as veterinarians and farriers.
