What are horses?

Horses are big, friendly animals that people ride and work with, just like you might ride a bicycle or help your mom clean the house.

Imagine a giant dog, not a tiny puppy, but one that’s as tall as a grown-up. That's a horse! They have long legs for running, a strong back for carrying people, and a soft neck you can pet like a friend.

Horses are like super helpers. When farmers need to move things around the farm, they ride on a horse. Just like how you might walk to school, a rider sits on a horse’s back and goes places with them. Sometimes, horses even run in races, it's like a big game where everyone cheers!

Horses eat hay and grass, just like cows, but they can also munch on apples if you give them one. They're playful too, sometimes they nudge you with their nose or kick up dirt when they’re excited.

So next time you see a horse, remember: it's not magic, it’s just a big, friendly animal that loves to run and help!
