Horse

I’m a good nay-bour

FACTS

Naturally I’ll live for up to 25 years

In the racing industry, I’d be killed at around 2 years

My fave food: apples, carrots

Did you know?

I’m very thirsty so I drink around 25 gallons of water 💦 every day

I’m a great lookout: one of us stays awake when a group sleeps

Our babies can walk and run just a few hours after birth

Like you, my face 😁 expresses my mood and feelings

I can sleep 💤 standing up or lying down

There’s a 24 hours-a-day slaughterhouse in the West Country, with lines of lorries filled with 2-year-old racehorses and wild ponies from round-ups. To help, avoid horse racing (and dog racing too) and horse-drawn carriage rides.
