The horse has become a faithful friend and a helper of man since immemorial time. Endurance, grace and beauty make this animal indispensable on the battlefields, in travel, hunting and in agriculture, in sports. The progenitor of a modern horse, scientists believe Eogippus – an animal that weighed a little over 5 kg and lived on the earth more than a few tens of millions of years ago.

Throughout the history of mankind’s development, the horse was a faithful friend and an indispensable helper, the pride of the rich man and the breadwinner for the poor. Most often the horse was used for riding. Archaeologists find confirmation that our ancestors portrayed horsemen for three thousand years before our era.

On average, horses live about 30 years, but there are some unique individuals capable of living twice as long. So, it is known the fact that the draft horse, born in Britain, named Billy, died at the age of 62 years. It is believed that the years of the life of a horse can be compared with periods of human life. For example, 12 years of a person’s life are equal to one year of the horse’s life.

The next 7 years are equal to the second year of the horse. With this calculation, the long-lived Billy lived more than 173 human years. The age of the horse is determined by the condition of the animal’s teeth. These unique animals, like a man, have not only developed feelings: scent, taste, hearing, touch, and vision, but also a strong intuition that allows to protect themselves from danger at the right time and save their owner.
