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.
