Horses live every where. This means I can’t give just one answer on the environment question. Horses mainly live in large flat areas of land such as plains, desserts, and savannas. Mean while ponies can live in areas with less stable footing such as Hills, Mountains and Dense Forest. Horses also come from all over the world. The first horses evolved in south east America over 60 million years ago. Sadly they became extinct 8,000 years ago. Mean while their cousins in Europe, Africa, and Asia thrived. About 6,000 years ago the first horses where taken and domesticated in Asia from where it spread across the world. The spread also returned horses to the Americas and by 1910 North America

had 20 million domesticated horses. Today North America has 20,000 Untamed Mustangs which are protected from hunting under Federal Law. The reason I used untamed instead of Wild is because the only true wild horse left is the Prewalski in Europe which sadly is now on the endangered species list.

Horses interact with many other living things in their habitat. Some of the more common ones are grass, trees, bushes, bird and in some parts rabbits, snakes, prairie dogs, and mice. Horses hide in the shelter of the trees and eat the bushes and the grass. The birds also eat the flies that find food on the horses. Horses must always be on the look out for snakes, rabbit and prairie dog borrows because stepping on or in one could cripple a horse there for making it easy prey for the next creature that comes along and ending its life.

As far as behavior goes it is amazing horses have a patriarchal society in which one stallion is in charge of an entire herd. One of horses’ main ways of communicating is through their ears. Depending on how a horse's ears are positioned we can tell what mood a horse is in. For instance say your horse is at a feed bunk with many other horses it knows well and is not tied. You may see its ears go and pin them selves backwards to the horses head this usually mean your horse is ticked and in this situation it is most likely because a horse lower than it just tried to or is trying to bump them out of its position.
