A horse is a swift and strong animal and can run long distances. It has four feet and a long neck with beautiful hair. It has no horns but has a bushy tail. Horses are of different sizes, shapes and colours. A male horse is known as a ‘stallion’, the female ‘mare’, and a baby horse is called a ‘colt’ or a ‘foal’.They love to eat green grass and grams. Horses are vegetarian, so they like to live in grassy areas and fields. They are originally wild animals but man domesticated them. History is full of stories about loyal horses, who helped and saved their masters. Chetak is one such well-known example from India. It is said that Napoleon used to sleep on the back of his horse. Arabian horses are very famous the world over. They are mostly used in races. One fascinating thing about horses is that they never sit. One always sees them standing. Man’s love for horses is well-known. There are not many animals that can match the beauty, grace and utility of a horse. Horses are also loving animals. They are cute when they are small. Horses have better night vision than humans. Horses help humans in many different ways, so it is our duty to protect them instead of exploiting them for selfish reasons.
