The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Hyracotherium, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.
Horses' anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Related to this need to flee from predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down. Female horses, called mares, carry their young for approximately 11 months, and a young horse, called a foal, can stand and run shortly following birth. Most domesticated horses begin training under saddle or in harness between the ages of two and four. They reach full adult development by age five, and have an average lifespan of between 25 and 30 years.

Would you understand?
Could you promise that youd keep it?
Keep it in your hand
I dont know
Where we go from here
We keep spinning round in circles
Are we going nowhere?
I cant see the future
Are we already there?
I wanna laugh like I used to
Cry like I could with you
I dont know where
We go from here
Come lay down beside me
And Ill tell you a story
Lay your head upon your pillow
Look outside your window
Ill be the stars
Ill be the stars
Weve had a lot of weather
You and me
Nothing is forever
The winds are calling me
You know I wanna know what peace is
But I pulled it all to pieces
Now we need all the kings horses
You know I wanna know what peace is
But I pulled it all to pieces
Now we need all the kings horses
Come lay down beside me
And Ill tell you a story
Lay your head upon your pillow
Look outside your window
If were saying goodbye
Ill see you in the night sky
Ill be the stars
Ill be the stars
