Editing Horse (section)

===Exterior===
Like all horses, the domestic horse is a long-legged herbivore with a massive head and smooth, short fur, which in all breeds is formed into a mane or tail, the so-called long hair, on the neck and tail. The foot ends in a single walking hoof, i.e. horses are tiptoe walkers who walk on their third, middle toe alone. The remaining toes have receded. Because the eyes are on the sides of the head, horses can see almost all around. But what exactly is in front of your nose you only notice when you turn your head. Although horses are not color-blind, they cannot distinguish all colors from one another. The brown, green, and gray are uniform gray; On the other hand, they see colors such as white, red, yellow, and blue particularly well.

The movable auricles can be set in all directions. Faced forward, the horse shows attention and curiosity, but when placed back against the head, the horse is angry and aggressive. If the ears hang to the side, this is either a sign of malaise and/or tiredness or an expression of submission or fear. If the ears are pointing backward, this is a sign of illness or boredom.

In order to be safe from predators in their original habitat, different coat colors developed over time (see below: coat colors of horses). One of the horse's earliest coat colors was fawn.
