Horses

The horse is a hooved mammal. The horse has been around for the past 45-50 million years. Although most horses today are domesticated, there are still endangered populations of the Przewalski's Horse, the only remaining true wild horse as well as more common ferel horses which live in the wild but are descended from domesticated ancestors.

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 saddle or in 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.
