But let's also take a moment to appreciate the very essence of the horse itself. Did you know these fascinating facts?

• Horses can sleep standing up! They have a special "stay apparatus" in their legs that allows them to lock their joints and rest without lying down.
• A group of horses is called a herd, band, or mob. Depending on the context, each term has its own nuance.
• Horses have excellent vision and can see almost 360 degrees around them, with blind spots only directly behind them.
• Their sense of smell is incredible, allowing them to detect subtle changes in their environment and recognize individuals through scent.
