creation one of them even narrates that allah was its creator with only a handful of sand and wind a pretty amazing theory although most people don’t believe it the truth is that this horse is characterized as one of the longest and oldest breeds in the world it’s said that it was an immediate descendant of the primitive or prehistoric horses that inhabited the african and european continent long before the appearance of the first human being according to the investigation some experts carried out it was concluded that this race has been on the earth for more than 4 500 years

average is around 143 and 153 centimeters it’s not a very large breed its coat has several shades it has never been possible to find one that has a single color but the most common among them is cinnamon and greyish with white spots the head is the most interesting part of their body refined with a broad forehead large expressive eyes and a large nose in contrast to its small snout they’ve become characteristics that make it a special and striking creature unlike other horses the arab steed has a short back and although most of them don’t meet this condition some horses only have five lumbar vertebrae instead of six as well as 17 ribs when they should be 18 can you believe it a fascinating creature in every sense of the word another curious fact is that with the passage of time the arabian horses have become one of the most docile and intelligent quadrupeds ever known and although in the past their job was to be part of the battlefield instead of the agricultural fields the desert climate and the conditions to which they were exposed fostered them a condition of strength and resistance that many people valued for work how about that a horse that will be appreciated without a doubt in any region it goes number three the perkaron horse the next horse in our list is as peculiar as it is beautiful it’s the percharon a race of really strong steeds it’s just a matter of taking a look at those powerful muscles to affirm it in turn this doesn’t prevent them from being quick and agile when making any kind of movement coming from france specifically from the province of leperque which is located in the normandy area these horses measure between 1 meter 50 and 1 meter 62 approximately as for its weight it’s established between 800 kilograms for the little ones and 1 200 for adults can you believe it only one of these animals would be able to easily crush any defenseless person which is why loading work is usually the most appropriate for them it’s even said that they dragged the cards of the most numerous and wealthy people through the town perkaron horses have an elegant head they also have a very long and thick tail with a sturdy chest their legs although short are quite strong and resistant they can endure walking great distances without problems the fur of these seats is usually very striking most of them have degradations of colors but that doesn’t mean there are some grays or jet black also known for their fertility they must be located in an area with adequate soil for their development natural metals and pastures are the right places not even when the second world war broke out they lost their strength and the breed kept reproducing until it spread to other regions in those regions they managed to stay until the 60s and although for a moment they were at risk fortunately nothing happened and the purchase continued to inhabit our world proudly since then their skills have been used by farmers for jobs where a strong physical condition is required pulling the sleds that are shown in the parades or competitions are some of those activities did you like it we’re sure that their powerful muscles are an attraction without a doubt would you like to ride for hours and take long walks in the woods then there’s no doubt that this is the ideal horse for you number two spotted horse you’ve probably seen zebras on more than one occasion whether visiting at the zoo or on television it’s impossible for you to not recognize their appearance how could we forget marty the funny zebra on the animated movie madagascar however what you have probably never imagined is that there may be a horse that physically resembles one of these interesting animals you don’t believe us then you have to meet the appaloosa horses a kind of quadruped recognized in particular because they possess a lot of dark spots on their bodies although when we think it a little better perhaps these have more similarities with a dalmatian dog but the idea of a white steed painted black is the most accurate description we can give you although appaloosa horses aren’t considered the only breed of horses that possess this characteristic we can assure you it is the most popular in their bodies really dark areas are combined with a little pinker skin to obtain this freckled appearance in many places how about that an appeal that you surely didn’t imagine possible in a horse but nature is more amazing than it may seem the appaloosa horses have very small ears compared to their large eyes in addition in some cases they have vertical stripes in dark and light colors on their legs instead of the usual spots they have a brave character a characteristic that highlights their active and energetic personality in the past they were really appreciated by native americans who managed to extend their species to the rest of the continent these deeds now quite famous in many parts of the world reached america after the spanish conquest they were extended by this group of natives who lived near the palouse river where they got their name from these indigenous people chose them considering they were the perfect horses for war and hunting not only for its beauty and beautiful color but also for the noble versatile and strong structure for work you may be wondering if all the horses were chosen for heavy work in antiquity well unfortunately it is exactly like that although currently the majority of their owners obtained them for horse riding competitions or for simple hobby before it was very common for horses to help shepherds in the field their strength and agility didn’t compare with any other number one genetically modified horses every type of fanaticism when taken to the extreme is dangerous nowadays it’s not strange to see how some people undergo aesthetic surgeries just to improve their appearance and look like their favorite actress or even animated character however if you thought this only applied to human beings then you have to know the case of the king magnum a nine month old horse that was genetically modified by its owners to resemble the animated seeds of disney like max from tangled bullseye from toy story buck from home on the ranch and even pegasus from hercules can you believe it after the orient farms described the full as something being just one step away from perfection the quadruped experts were alarmed at the fatal effects these living conditions could bring to the animal and recommend it to the population not to commit such acts in any animal you just have to see it king magnum has an exceedingly high neck of protruding those within large nostrils and large beady eyes tim greet a recognized expert on horses expressed his concern at the event since the new skull and nasal trace of the steed could cause serious respiratory problems in the future what do you think would you subject your pets to this type of conditions as long as they resemble the
