Horses have being used for many thing as well as used for farming, transport and riding for fun. there are many breeds and colours going to the smallest breed the Falabella, the tallest breed the Shire to the most oldest- Przewalski and the most beuautiful the Arabian. The most basic coat colours are- grey, black, bay, cheastnut and dark brown.

HEALTH AND BUYING- All I am going to write here is is about colic B-) If a horse is showing any synmptoms  of colic then call the vet straight away. If a horse gets colic it might have being caused by- eating freshly mowed grass, ragwort or yew tree, a sudden change in diet, stress, eating and drinking straight away after or before exercise. if you are buying a horse make sure that it is healthy and don't be afraid to ask questions or else you may end up with problems after you bought the horse, also ask if it had any sicknesses or problems in the past if it is possible to get a different vet from the vet that the previous owner had because the old owner may have singed a deal that the owner would pay the vet an amount of money to say to the new owner that the horse is fine even if it has a sickness of some sort just so he/she gets sold, but that dosn't happen any more at all because it is the vets job to keep an animal safe, well and alive.
