Horses sleep standing up
Horses will often sleep standing up to make sure they don’t waste any time sleeping. They also spend a fair amount of time with their eyes closed as well. This means they have one eye open while they are sleeping which gives them 360-degree vision around them so that no animal can sneak up on them when they are asleep.
There are over 300 breeds of horse
Horses come in all shapes and sizes, with a variety of colors and markings. Breeds include everything from Arabians to Quarter Horses to Friesians, which originated in Germany. The first horses were domesticated over 4,000 years ago. Originally from Asia, they are native to Eurasia and Africa—where they are still wild today. When a horse is born it will learn how to run within minutes of its birth. This helps it catch prey once it’s old enough for hunting.
