If you want to discuss the most practical animal in world, it has to be the horse. The history of horses dates back to 4000BC, with domesticated use beginning in 3000BC, and ending for most of the world in the 1950’s (introduction of the car). Whether you believe it or not throughout history, horses, and horse drawn carriages have been the most commonly used form of transportation.

Due to their prolonged use as domesticated animals, there are few horses found in the wild. Although domesticated horses are not usually kept as pets due to their large size, and maintenance needs. However, they make great companions due to their long life span (22-25 years), tamed nature, and free spirits; a horse is an ideal pet for a family residing on a farm or with access to a stable. Anatomically speaking horses are masculine animals, horses are large animals an adult male horse can become up to 183cm tall, and can weigh up to 1000kg.
Fun Fact: Horses are able to sleep even whilst standing up!
