Whois & Analysis for smartpakequine.com

Equus is a genus of mammals in the family Equidae, which includes horses, asses, and zebras.

Within Equidae, Equus is the only recognized extant genus, comprising seven living species.

The term equine refers to any member of this genus, including horses.

Like Equidae more broadly, Equus has numerous extinct species known only from fossils.

The genus most likely originated in North America and spread quickly to the Old World.

Equines are odd-toed ungulates with slender legs, long heads, relatively long necks, manes (erect in most subspecies) and long tails.

All species are herbivorous, and mostly grazers with simpler digestive systems than ruminants but able to subsist on lower quality vegetation.

Tack is a piece of equipment or accessory equipped on horses in the course of their use as domesticated animals.

Saddles, stirrups, bridles, halters, reins, bits, harnesses, martingales, and breastplates are all forms of horse tack.

Equipping a horse is often referred to as tacking up.

A room to store such equipment, usually near or in a stable, is a tack room.

The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus.

It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae.

The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today.

Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC.

Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses.

These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse.

There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.
