My First Book of Horses - Ingrid Andersson
Horses—the best in the world!
Horses are beautiful animals! They are quick, strong, and graceful. They also have soft fur and are silky around the muzzle.
Maybe you have met a horse before at riding school, the races, or during a pony ride. If you have, then you already know that horses can range in size, from huge work horses to very small ponies.
The history of horses
Five thousand years ago, all horses were wild and free. They lived in small herds, with about ten to fifteen horses in each group.
Wild horses roamed the land and spent most of their time eating grass. They knew which grasses and plants were good to eat, and knew how to survive outside in all kinds of weather. When it rained, the herd would gather with their backsides to the rain, put their heads down, and huddle together to keep themselves warm.
When it was hot during the summer, they would roll in clay to protect themselves from the flies, mosquitos, and the sun’s rays.
The leader of the herd was an old mare. She decided when it was time to move to another pasture, or travel to a creek to get a drink.
The stallion kept the herd together, and protected it from danger. He always had to be on the alert, and gather the other horses to protect them.
When horses wanted to travel to a different pasture, they walked in a long line together. The stallion was always last. His duty was to make sure that all of the horses in the herd were in front of him and that no horse was left behind.
