Cool horse facts

There are over 350 different breeds of horses and ponies.


There are more than 600 Przewalski's horses worldwide.


When spoken to, horses distinguish tones rather than particular words.


The longest tail measured was 22ft long was grown by an American Palomino named Chinook


The longest mane was 18 ft long and grown by a Californian mare named Maude


Horses have "2BLIND SPOTS". One is directly behind them and the other is directly in front of them.


A horse's "HEART WEIGHS" about 10 pounds!

The world speed record for a horse is 43.2 mph, it was set by a four year old race horse named Big Racket.


Did you know that in the old black and white films, when the script said that a horse was to be shot, they really did the on screen?! Sad, huh? :( :( :( :( :( :(
