- can hear far away and a lot of frequencies
- large eyes on the side of
their head to be able to see
everywhere
- only place where they cannot sense in above them
- no predators from above

- depending on mood
- tail in air, snorting, ears pricked forward,head high, prancing = excited
- ears back, stomping, tail between legs = moody
- ears twitching around head streched out, tail swishing= laid back
- tail in air, snorting, ears pricked forward,head high, prancing = excited
- small intestine
- horses eat a lot of fibre and so need a lot of bile to digest it
- 15-22m long
- Horses do not have a gall bladder, so bile flows constantly.
- Most food is digested and absorbed into
the bloodstream from the small intestine,
including proteins, simple carbohydrate,
fats, and vitamines A, D, and E
- 15-22m long
- horses eat a lot of fibre and so need a lot of bile to digest it
- The trachea is the tube
which carries air into the
lungs, and is about 75–80
cm in length in the adult.
- It is held permanently open
by 50-60 "C"-shaped rings of
cartilage, 5–6 cm in diameter

- heart
- 4 chambers and average of 3.9kg with vessels
- heart rate range from 20 – 240 beats
per minute and a splenic red cell reserve
able to double packed cell volume and
oxygen delivery during maximal exercise
- THIS IS WHY YOU MUST COOL DOWN PROPERLY OTHERWHISE YOUR HORSES HEART LITERALLY EXPLODES WITH THE PRESSURE!!!

- The circulatory system
- the hoof
- . As the horse puts weight
onto the hoof, the hoof
wall is pushed outwards
and the frog compressed,
driving blood out of the
frog, the digital pad, and
the laminae of the hoof
- When weight is removed
from the hoof, the release of
pressure pulls blood back
down into the foot again. This
effectively creates an
auxiliary blood-pumping
system at the end of each leg
