Horse Facts
Okay tell me, do you want to become a good horseman? Yes! But if if you don't want to become one, let me give you some of the very interesting facts that are related to horses. Read on...
The first thing that I would like to tell you is that horses have the same senses we do, hearing, smell, taste, sight and touch. You didn't know that? Okay, now you are aware of that! But at the same time I would like to tell you that they operate differently than our own. As far as the information that they get is concerned, they get from their senses dictate how horses interact with their environment, and that is why you must understand how they work and what to expect from our horses.
The next fact that you must know is that a horse can hear keener than we do and above all, a horse has a capability of moving move his ears about 180 degrees around, and because of this unique feature he can better isolate where a sound is coming from.
Because of this unique ability, a horse comes to know as to which direction to run in, escaping from any kind of situation that he perceives as any kind of danger! If you are rider, know that horses can hear us speak quite well.
Now you know that even if you will speak in a quiet manner and they will hear you just fine. Horses are conducive to learning voice commands and that is why you must deal them in a smooth manner.
Noe some facts about their smelling power: Their sense of smell is also more acute than ours, but don't compare their strong smelling smell with dogs. But at the same time, horses can detect smells that we are oblivious to.
So if in any situation, when you are indulged in horse riding and your horse stops and acts alarmed even though you cannot see anything, then get your self alarmed that there is something wrong ahead! And at the same time you must trust him and pay attention to his intentions.
Now something about their taste buds. I mean their tasting abilities. Like all the human beings, horses too enjoy a variety of tastes including sweet and salty foods. Yes, true! Molasses and a good salt block will satisfy a horse! But you must give him all the worthy food items to keep them healthy!
But let me tell you, it is not a great idea to give them sweat treats! Don't spoil them...
