What animal can . . . run so fast, its feet don't always touch the ground, weigh more than 2,000 pounds, sense people's emotions by their smell, . . . and wear shoes? Why, a horse, of course Horses are some of the most fascinating--and important--creatures on Earth. In fact, our world would not be the way it is today if not for horses. Horses have carried medieval knights into battle, transported settlers to the American West, and hauled fire engines and buses. They even turned the wheels that provided power for factories But one of their greatest, most enduring gifts to us is companionship and trust. Supports the Common Core State Standards

Customer Reviews

Wonderful pictures and great info on HORSES

My daughter got this book as a paperback from a school book fair. She took it to school to share as a science project and it was lost. I found it here online and for a bonus it was in hardback. She loves reading this book. It gives so many details about a horses life, body and lifestyle. She calls it her science book. Thank you for carrying such a good teaching tool.

Horses

If you are interested in owning a horse, you should read this book. This book teaches you how to take care of a horse and tells you other fun facts. If you get a horse you have to give it lots of free time. For example, put the horse in a wide field so it can run often and get its energy out. Horses can get very antsy. They also need a friend of their kind. Having more than one horse is always good because they can entertain each other. Be sure to feed your horse at least three times a day. They liek to eat hay, carrots, apples, grass, corn, and occasionally hats! Sometimes horses will eat anything. I remember a time when my friend's dad's hat was eaten by a horse when we were feeding it carrots! One of the things I liked most about this book were the pictures. They showed all different types of horses. One really cute picture was of one horse kissing another horse. A bizarre picture was one of a horse smiling with disgusting teeth! I really enjoyed reading this book because it gave me lots of information about horses. I would recommend it to someone who wants a horse, has a horse, or just wantes to learn more about horses. So read this book and you will learn so much more! by AB
