can tell a horse’s age from the number of teeth it has. They get all their teeth by the age of 5,
after which those teeth just get longer. Horses can't breathe through their mouth. They have
10 different muscles in their ears. Horses have a nearly 360 degree all round vision. The
only place they cannot see is directly behind or right in front of them. Therefore, it is unsafe
to stand behind a horse. Each of the horse’s two eyes work independently. A horse can
sleep standing up as as he is able to lock his leg muscles which prevents him from falling.
