Horse is a mammal, found residing in almost all the parts of the world. A beautiful animal, it belongs to the Mammalia class and has the binomial (scientific) name of Equus Caballus. Not only are horses graceful, but also very athletic and highly energetic. They have been used for domestic chores since ages and have formed a very warm bond with human beings. Horses have also been eulogized in religion, mythology, and art and have played a very important role in transportation, agriculture and warfare in the past. In this article, we have provided some fun facts and interesting information on horses.The relationship of the horse to humans has been unique. The horse is a partner and friend. It has plowed fields and brought in the harvest, hauled goods and conveyed passengers, followed game and tracked cattle, and carried combatants into battle and adventurers to unknown lands. It has provided recreation in the form of jousts, tournaments, carousels, and the sport of riding. The influence of the horse is expressed in the English language in such terms as chivalry and cavalier, which connote honour, respect, good manners, and straightforwardness.The horse is the "proudest conquest of Man," according to the French zoologist Georges-Louis Leclerc, comte de Buffon. Its place was at its master's side in the graves of the Scythian kings or in the tombs of the pharaohs. Many early human cultures were centred on possession of the horse. Superstition read meaning into the colours of the horse, and a horse's head suspended near a grave or sanctuary or on the gables of a house conferred supernatural powers on the place. Greek mythology created the Centaur, the most obvious symbol of the oneness of horse and rider. White stallions were the supreme sacrifice to the gods, and the Greek general Xenophon recorded that "gods and heroes are depicted on well-trained horses." A beautiful and well-trained horse was, therefore, a status symbol in ancient Greece. Kings, generals, and statesmen, of necessity, had to be horsemen. The names of famous horses are inseparably linked to those of their famous riders: Bucephalus, the charger of Alexander the Great; Incitatus, once believed to have been made a senator by the Roman emperor Caligula (see Researcher's Note); El Morzillo, Hernán Cortés's favourite horse, to whom the Indians erected a statue; Roan Barbery, the stallion of Richard II, mentioned by Shakespeare; Copenhagen, the duke of Wellington's horse, which was buried with military honours.The horse has occupied a special place in the realm of art. From Stone Age drawings to the marvel of the Parthenon frieze, from Chinese Tang dynasty tomb sculptures to Leonardo da Vinci's sketches and Andrea del Verrocchio's Colleoni, from the Qurʾān to modern literature, the horse has inspired artists of all ages and in all parts of the world.
