A few facts about horses, courtesy of the University of Arkansas:

- Dogs and cats drink by lapping water with their tongues while cattle and horses make use of a sucking action.
- A baby female is called a filly, a baby boy is called a colt, a baby boy or girl is also known as a foal.
- When first born, foals cannot eat grass because their legs are too long to reach the ground.
- Foals can stand up within one hour of being born.
Most foals are born at night.
- Thoroughbreds all have the same birthday which makes it easier to keep breeding, racing, and showing records.
- As well as using them for fly swatting, horses use their tails to send signals to each other about how they are feeling.
- A horse's height is measured in hands. 1 hand = 4 inches.
- Horses belong to the equus family which comes from the Greek word meaning "quickness".
- A pony is not a baby horse, but rather a full grown small horse.
