Horses are beautiful and interesting animals. For 5000 years, they've been mankind's trusted companion, to facilitate travel, war, and eventually for entertainment. People often feel intense bonds with their horses, and regard them not just as tools or pets, but family. This field of knowledge is wide and deep, and chances are even the most avid horse lover doesn't know everything! If you're obsessed with horses, racing, and taking care of them, then maybe you can pass our Ultimate Horse Quiz. Remember what you learned in Pony Club, put on your tack, and get ready to win the trophy you've spent a lifetime training for!
Quiz Writer
Jake didn’t think he’d become a writer when he was growing up in southern Saskatchewan, Canada, but fate had another idea. After barely squeaking through grade 9 English, by the luck of the draw Jake found himself with the most inspiring literature instructor his small town had ever known, and grade 10 English changed his life! Suddenly, evenings once spent at the hockey rink were spent curled up on the couch with the best of Hemingway, Dickens, and John Grisham. A valedictorian address and English degree at the University of Regina later, Jake is proud to call Heywise his favorite place to pen informative quizzes about all his passion projects. If you’re reading a post and pick up a hint of classic English literature, you’re probably reading something by Jake - especially if you come away feeling like a slightly better person for it.
Did you know?
Ancient horses didn't have hooves!
The ancestor of the horse, the Eohippus, was between the size of a fox and a labrador. Rather than grazing on grassy plains, they lived in forests and ate on leaves or foraged for other food in the undergrowth. These early mammals resembled horses but had three toes instead of hooves. Eventually, 3.5 million years ago, the first "modern" horses, known as Equus, evolved.
