My parents are taking me to buy a horse, whose name is Beauty, this coming weekend, and I'm trying to learn more about horses.
well first thing is that it is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family equidae
That'll be handy in my biology class I guess, but what should I know about the actual horse? What's the best way to shelter and feed one?
I dont know about that however, horses anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight or flight response.
What sort of predators would they realistically need to escape from on my parents' ranch?
Well in the wold, horses are prey animals that live in herds, which affects their reactions to other horses and to the world around them
