Sequences of the horse

The reason that the horses wear horseshoes is because they wear out more Sequences of the horsequickly in captivity by the inner surface hardness or a more prolonged release movement on the earth.  Helmets to put horseshoes on should be cut every 30 days (45 maximum) as they continue to grow normally. The hardware always needs an expert to do this.

Age
It has an average life of 25/40 years in captivity and in the wild they will live about 25 years.  The inclination of the incisor teeth increases with time and serves to determine the age of the horse.   They do not reach maturity until 4 years when they are no longer foals, at this age they can be mounted and tamed.  After 4 years, horses are considered adults, and tend to calm down. A horse in good health can live well past 20 years.

Sleep

An adult horse can sleep from four to fourteen hours a day. However, they do not sleep continuously, but in blocks of half hours. Horses can take a light sleep standing up, because they can lock the articulation of Babilla and do not hold weight with muscles like humans do.  However, to achieve deep sleep and REM state they need to lie down completely.  Normally, when the horses live in freedom they do not sleep all at once, but some rest while others remain alert to sound the alarm if there is a predator.  The dream is shared by all animals who have brains, as a mechanism for consolidation of learning.
