Difference Between Horses and Man - Basically, horses are prey animals with an admirable flight and fight instinct. Usually, their response when their security is threatened is to retreat, find a place where they are at their vantage point in defending their young or their herd. Although they have a strong sense of territorial domain and hesitancy towards anything that pose as a threat to them, they are able to develop companionship to people who treat them well. They communicate through different forms of vocalizations such as whinnying, nuzzling and other forms of body language that they are capable of.

Basically,
horses are prey animals with an admirable flight and fight instinct.
Usually,
their response when their security is threatened is to retreat, find a place
where they are at their vantage point in defending their young or their
herd.
Although
they have a strong sense of territorial domain and hesitancy towards anything
that pose as a threat to them, they are able to develop companionship to people
who treat them well.
They
communicate through
different
forms
of vocalizations such as whinnying, nuzzling and other forms of body language
that they are capable of.
Caring for horses requires formal
education.
Schools
for horse trainers, breeders, horse riders and businessmen offer various courses
from the A to Z of training to breeding.
Books,
on the other hand, offer non-formal education but serve only as guides and
information, mostly, are limited compared to a formal schooling that offers
hands-on close contact with horses, various procedures and
demonstrations.
Although
a handful of information materials such as books, the internet and hobbyist
magazines about horse are readily available, there are few first things that you
have to know and understand such as horse anatomy, temperament, communication,
behavior and among others.
You
have to
realize
that horses do not have muscles in its legs below the knees and hocks, thus it
is vital to protect them from injuries with the use of horseshoes.
As
the hooves continually grow, trimming every five to eight weeks is
necessary.

digestive system is adapted to accommodate up to 24 pounds of food and 38 liters
of water daily thus it is necessary that they are continuously supplied with
food and water.
Horses
are incapable of vomiting, thus are more prone to colic which can lead to
fatalities.
Horses
are known for their flight and fight instinct, horses are referred to as gentle
giants once they realize that there are no threats around them.
Race
horses are more sensitive and energetic while draft breeds are quieter and
calmer.
Thus
you have to know when to stand ground and when not to.
Horses
have a their way of communicating and letting their feelings be known in a
number of ways through whinnying, nuzzling, body language and instincts thus it
is best to be familiar with the different emotions that they show.
Their
ears are primarily used to catch attention while the head is used to show
disobedience or defiance.
Horses
cannot, unlike human beings who are capable of talking and communicating their
needs, thus it is vital that a horse trainer or breeder learn the various body
language of a horse to be able to know when a horse is hungry, sick, attacked or
simply happy with your presence.
Building a comfortable home for your growing herds is quite expensive but if you
are contemplating on building a new horse stall mat, be sure
enough that you are getting your money's worth. A dependable horse stall door that will
provide maximum comfort, sanitation and low maintenance requirement during
extreme weather conditions should be a top priority.
