Fun fact about horses:

• Horses can sleep both lying down and standing up. They have a handy mechanism in their legs called a “stay apparatus”. This allowing them to relax their muscles while keeping the legs locked in position to hold them up.

• Horses have the largest eyes of any land mammal.

• Horses drink at least 25 gallons of water a day (more in hotter climates)

• It takes 9-12 months to re-grow an entire horse hoof

• A horse year is equal to 6 1/2 human years for the first 3 years of the horse's life. At the horse age of three the equivalent changes and is approximately 5 years to man. From 4 the horse year equivalency changes to 2 1/2 years.
