You can distinguish domestic breeds of horses from wild ones by external signs. Natural varieties of animals do not have such an article, they are stocky, small in stature, with an untidy protruding mane.

Domestic horses have long lived side by side with humans. In the village, for keeping animals, a separate stall was always built - a stable. The room should be spacious enough, not stuffy. It will be easier for an animal to endure severe cold with a heating system.
