A horse is defined as a large hoofed mammal, having a short-haired coat, a long mane, and a long tail, domesticated since ancient times and used for riding and for drawing or carrying loads. The very first horses evolved on the North American continent over 55 million years ago. The modern form of horse evolved from small dog like animals that first appeared 60 million years ago. There has been discovery that horses are still revolving due to new fossils that have been found. There are many different aspects regarding a horse.

Horses are, and were used for many things. The first use of horses was in warfare. Many different types and sizes of horse were used in war, depending on the form of warfare. The type used varied with whether the horse was being ridden or driven, and whether they were being used for reconnaissance, cavalry charges, raiding, communication, or supply. Now, horses are mainly used for pleasure. Such as; riding competitions, pets, gaming, attractions in petting zoos, pony rides, and trail rides. Also, carriage rides, transportation, and farm work in some countries/religions, products, and sometimes meat.
