5 Fun Facts About Horses 🐴

1️⃣ Horses Can Sleep Standing Up!
Thanks to a special locking mechanism in their legs, horses can rest while standing, but they still need to lie down for deep sleep.

2️⃣ They Have Incredible Memories!
Horses can remember people and places for years, forming strong emotional connections with their favorite humans.

3️⃣ Horses Communicate with Their Ears!
Their ears can rotate 180°, helping them express emotions and focus on sounds from different directions.

4️⃣ A Horse’s Hoof Is Like a Fingernail!
Hooves are made of keratin, just like our nails, and they grow continuously, requiring regular care.

5️⃣ Horses Have Nearly 360° Vision!
With eyes on the sides of their heads, horses can see almost all around them—except directly behind and in front.

Which fact surprised you the most? Let us know in the comments! 🐎💙

🚨 Summer Camp 2025 Registration Is Open! 🚨 Make this summer unforgettable with our exciting camp sessions!

🐴 Horse Camp is perfect for beginners, offering a hands-on experience in horse care, grooming, and riding. Campers will learn the basics, play mounted arena games, and dive into afternoon sessions focused on horse care, crafts, and management. The week wraps up with a fun-filled show where campers can even paint their horse!

🐐 For a mix of horses and goats, Barnyard Camp is the perfect choice. Mornings are spent riding and learning about horses, while afternoons focus on goat yoga, milking, and training goats for the Obstacle Course Challenge. The week concludes with an end-of-camp show featuring both horses and goats. Come join the fun and create memories that will last a lifetime!
