This important occasion aims to raise awareness of the struggles that equines all over the world face and contribute to efforts saving them from cruel and inhumane situations.Horses are very distinctive animals, well known for their grace and beauty. While there over 300 different breeds, they can be grouped into three main types – “hot bloodsâ€_x009d_, which are fast and bold, “cold bloodsâ€_x009d_, which are strong and calm, and “warm bloodsâ€_x009d_, which are a blend of the two and tend to be good for riding.They can be flighty animals and scare easily, which also means theyre able to sleep standing up in case a quick getaway is needed! A horses teeth are incredibly long and gradually emerge into the mouth (a process known as “eruptingâ€_x009d_) over the course of its life to replace whats been ground down by chewing. And of course theyre excellent runners, able to move in a variety of gaits including trotting, cantering and full-out galloping!
