Domesticated Horses are adapted to run, allowing them to quickly escape predators. They possess an excellent sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Spirited, hot-blooded horses are bred for speed and endurance, finding work as warhorses, racehorses and for riding and driving. "Cold-bloods" are employed for slow, heavy work, particularly in agriculture and haulage. For these uses, domesticated horses are provided with food, water and shelter, as well as care and shoeing.

A large, single-toed hoofed animal adapted to running, that serves as an important work animal and mount. Horses are domesticated to serve in many capacities, including for war, agriculture, hauling and trade, and as a source of entertainment. Riding and driving techniques, as well as the care of horses, has created sophisticated professions, while horse breeding is considered an important exercise for wealthy persons and nobles. Products obtained from horses include meat, milk, hide, hair, bone and gelatin.
