Horses can be tall or short. Many horses are taller than people, but some horses are very small.
Some miniature (MIN-ee-uh-chur) horses are trained to help blind people. They are like seeing-eye dogs.
A miniature horse may be only two feet tall!
No matter their size, all horses have the same body parts. They are called points. Here are some of a horse’s points.
A horse has only one toe on each foot. Each toe is covered by a horny hoof. A horseshoe is used to protect the hoof.
A muzzle is a horse’s jaw and nose. The withers are the ridge between a horse’s two shoulder bones.
