Horses Characteristics
Horses can live to be 30 or 40 years of age They have an acute sense of smell and hearing and can look forward with one eye and backwards with another. That is one reason why they are skittish and sometimes outfit with blinders.
Horses can trot, canter and gallop and reach speed of 43mph. Their hoof are actually large middle toes. The muscular hindquarters is the source of a horse's power. The alignment of the legs critical for speed but is complicated.
Horses are vegetarians, generally eating grass in the summer and hay in the winter, but are not cud-chewing ruminants like cattle, sheep or goats. They need more grass than these animals and digest fibrous materials in a greatly enlarged section of their gut called a caecum, located between the large and small intestines. With no cud and a fermentation body at the end of the large intestine instead of the beginning, horses are only two thirds as efficient digesting grass as cattle or sheep and need a third more land to maintain their body weight.
Horses have large teeth that are best suited for grinding grass and can be used to tell a horses age. The first teeth are called "nippers," which are fully grown after nine months. Permanent teeth begin growing the third year. A full set of teeth is obtained at the end of the sixth year. The enamel edges wear down over time are usually completely gone by the 11th year
