Some of our friends have given us some really cool ones.
- A small indent in a horses skin (usually on the neck or shoulder) is called a prophet’s mark and is considered good luck.
-Horses can't breathe through their mouth
- the Arabian has 17 ribs instead of 18 like most horses.
-The intestines of a full grown horse are 89 feet long on average!
- A horse heart weighs 10 pounds
- The oldest horse was named Old Billy. He was a cross breed, he was born in 1760 and lived to 62.
-The oldest pony ever recorded was named Teddy E. Bear. He lived to be 55 and was owned by Kathy Pennington of Virginia Beach, VA. He was still alive in 1998.
-horses can't throw up or burp.
- To get an official measurement of a horses height, they must be measured without shoes.
-You can tell if a horse is cold by feeling behind their ears. If that area is cold, so is the horse.
- There are over 350 different breeds of horses and ponies.
- A horse has 16 different muscles in each ear, allowing for 180 degrees of rotation.
Those were a few from people. Who knows if they’re true or not, makes me wonder.
