    Facts About Horses

    Are you already fond of horses at an early age? If you do, you will definitely enjoy the facts that you will learn about the strongest animal we know.

    How Horses Are Born

    Just before giving birth, a young pregnant horse gets into the right position. During its delivery, you will immediately see the first front foot coming out, followed by the second foot, then its nose. After the head is seen, the shoulders and the head are next, and this is known to be the most difficult part. After this challenging part, the hind legs and hips will come out easily until the baby horse, which is called colt (boy) and filly (girl) is completely out.

    Popular Terms for Horses

    Horse lovers often use terms which only them can understand. For someone, who is interested about horses, here are some common terms that you need to learn:

    1. Aged - this is what you call a horse that is more than nine years old already

    2. Backyard horse - this is a kind of horse that does not live in a barn. Instead, it lives with its owner or master.

    3. Colt - this refers to a young horse that is less than four years old and has not been castrated yet.

    4. Dam - this is what you call the mother of the horse

    5. Filly- this refers to a young female horse that is below four years old

    6. Foal- this is a baby pony or horse that is still under its mother's care

    7. Mare - this is what you call a female horse that is already more than four years old

    8. Stallion - this refers to a male horse that hasn't been castrated and already more than four years old

    How Old Does a Horse or Pony Get?

    Unlike people, horses only have short lifespans. Normally, a horse reaches 30 years, but it can still extend up to 40 years old. To determine its age, veterinarians examine and check the incisors (teeth) of the upper and lower jaws.

    It is very normal to talk about a horse' speed. The slowest speed is called walk and a bit faster than this is called trot. If you see a little faster than a trot, it is called canter and the fastest speed is called gallop.
