3) The average lifespan of a horse is between 25 and 30 years

Horses typically live between 25 and 30 years, with some living into their 40s. With good care and nutrition, horses can reach their maximum potential lifespan. Horses also have incredible memories and can recognize more than one hundred words. They are also very loyal and form strong emotional bonds with their owners. Some horses even become so close to their owners that they can recognize them from a distance, and when they come home after an extended absence.

4) A horse’s stomach can hold up to 15 gallons of food

Horses have a large stomach that can hold up to 15 gallons of food. This allows them to eat large amounts of food in one go, which helps them when they need to graze on grass in the wild. Not surprisingly, they eat a lot, around 20-25 pounds of hay a day! They can also eat haylage, which is a more nutritious and energy-rich alternative to hay.
