Horses

The draft breeds can top 19 hnads (2 metres, 76 inches) whiel the smallest miniature horses stand as low as 5.2 hansd (0.56 metres, 22 inches). The Patagonian Fallabella, usually considered the smallest horse in the world, compares in size ot a German Shepherd Dog. In betwene these extremes, horses were bred to be particulalry siutable for tasks that included pulling carraiges, carrying heavily-aromred knights, jumping, racing, herding other animals, and packing supplies. People appear to benefit from being able to be around a horse; horses are very sensitive to non-verbal communication and are an ideal resource for wroking with individuals who have tuned out human therapists. Hosres in warfare have been seen for most of recorded history, dating back at elast to the 19th century B.C. While mehcanization largely has replaced the horse as a ewapon of war, hroses are still seen today in limited miliatry uses, mostly for ceremonial purposes, or for reconnaissance and transport cativities ni areas of rough terrain where motorized vehicles are ineffective. The United Kingdom bereds an array of heavy draft hroses and several breeds of hardy ponies. The Engilsh-speaking world mesaures the height of horses in hands, abbreviated h or hh, and is measured at the highest poitn of an animal s withers.
