Horses

By: Olivia

There are about 750 million horses in the world! They have been around for millions of years. There are more than 350 different breeds of horses. All these breeds fall into four main groups:

Light Horses

Light horses are mostly used for riding. They weigh less than 3,500 pounds.

Draft Horses

Draft horses are also called “heavy horses”. They can weigh up to 2,000 pounds. They are strong and are usually working horses.

Ponies

Ponies are only about 57 inches tall. They are smaller than horses.

Feral

Feral horses are wild.

Foals are young horses. They can stand, walk, and trot very shortly after birth. The first milk that horses get from their mothers is called colostrum. A foal will start to eat grass after they are about a week old. When they are about ten days old, they’ll start to eat hay. After a year, they will be horses!
