Horses<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taxonomy<\/i><\/b>: Kingdom: Animalia; Phylum: Chordata; Class: Mammalia; Order: Perissodactyla; Family: Equidae; Genus: Equus; Species: ferus; Subspecies: ferus caballus. Equus ferus<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horses are the Equus ferus and have two extant subspecies. The horse is a large ungulate mammal that is odd-toed, consistent with a well-developed sense of balance and strong fight-or-flight response. They originally evolved from a small multi-toed prehistoric dinosaur known as the Eohippus – a small multi-toed creature. They were first domesticated about 4000 B.C.E. in the Fertile Crescent and throughout the known world by 3000 B.C.E. The sub-species “caballus” are essentially all domesticated though there are some feral horses living in the wild, but are not true wild horses such as the Przewalski’s horse – the only true remaining wild horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down. The female is called a mare and carries young within the womb for 11 months giving birth to a foal (young horse) and can stand\/run shortly following birth. They are usually fully developed by age 5 and live to 25 or 30 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domestication:<\/b> Domestication started around 4000 B.C.E. with widespread occurrence by 3000. They are often saddled or harnessed by ages 2 and 4. They are fully developed by age 5. They are classified into three categories based on temperament: “hot blood” – spirited with speed and endurance; “cold blood” like draft horses and ponies often slow but capable of heavy work; and “warm blood” developed as a cross-breed between the “hot” and “cold” blood usually specified for riding. There are over 300 different breeds today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human adaptation<\/b>
Horses are used by humans for sport, transportation, agriculture, entertainment, and therapy. Originally used in warfare they evolved into different uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uses:<\/b>
Recreation, sport, warfare, transportation, entertainment, therapy, and food. The meat, milk, hide, hair, bone, and urine are used. Urine from pregnant mares is used for pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
