  • Quarter & Draft Horse Information
    QUARTER & DRAFT HORSE INFORMATION DID YOU KNOW??? ♦ Foals, or newborn horses, can stand up and take steps just minutes after they are born! ♦ A pony is a grown-up horse that is less than 58 inches tall. ♦ The first horses were brought to North America (to Mexico first) by Hernando Cortes in 1519. ♦ Horses have fairly small stomachs with just one compartment (unlike cattle and sheep, which have four stomach compartments). Because of this, horses only eat small amounts at a time, but they may graze all day long! ♦ “Rodeo” is Spanish for “round-up.” ABOUT HORSES… Horses serve many purposes. They can help keep track of cattle and other animals on the farm or ranch. They are important to sports and leisure activities, such as polo, racing, and horseback riding. In the past, horses were important to transportation—people could ride them, and horses could pull wagons and stagecoaches. Long ago, horses also pulled plows to help farmers break- up the soil for planting, and they powered all kinds of machinery before electricity. When do you see horses today? In what ways do horses work for people today?
