Horses Horses by Lisa Horses are interesting animals. Horses could weigh about 2,000 pounds. People measure how tall horses are by using a measurement called hands. A hand is about 4 inches.
Horses have eyes on the back of their heads.
That way they can see in the front, side, and a little in the back. The ears of a horse go the way the noise is. You can tell how old a horse is by the way their teeth go. A horse usually sleeps standing up. There is a strong muscle in their neck that supports it.
