The understanding of horses and the way they live can be very complex.
Horses prefer to live in herds rather than by themselves. They need company much as most human beings do.
They like to roam and make life as interesting as possible for themselves, again much like we do.
Here you can find some useful hints and tips to help your horse in its day to day living with you. And how you can care for it when the need arises.
Much like us, horses come with their own range of illnesses and diseases. Some are very similar to those that people can suffer, such as colic.
