    The document discusses several physiological peculiarities and behaviors of horses. It notes that horses' hindguts produce enough B vitamins to meet requirements, their livers can produce vitamin C, and splenic contraction boosts oxygen transport during exercise. It also discusses common vices like cribbing and weaving. Horses have a keen sense of hearing and smell but less vision than humans. Their behavior includes eating, resting, elimination and social interaction patterns similar to herds. Any changes in behavior could indicate physical issues.

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF
    HORSE
    The microbial populations in
    the horse's hindgut produce
    enough B vitamins to meet
    the horse's requirement at
    maintenance.
    Healthy horses can produce
    vitamin C in their livers from
    glucose and do not have to
    obtain it through dietary
    means
    splenic contraction provides
    a tremendous boost in the
    horse's capacity to transport
    oxygen during exercise
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF
    HORSE
    Horses can use diets
    that contain fat even
    though they have no
    gallbladder and,
    therefore, no storage of
    bile, which is needed
    for fat emulsification
    and absorption

    of horses that eat high-
    quality alfalfa hay
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF
    HORSE
    Horses often will not drink
    water after they sweat profusely
    and become electrolyte
    depleted following intense
    exercise
    B vitamins contribute to the
    efficient functioning of the
    nervous system by breaking
    down fats and proteins. They
    also support muscle tone in the
    digestive tract; maintain healthy
    skin, hair, and eyes; and
    promote liver health
    Biotin often has been
    supplemented to improve hoof
    and coat quality
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF
    HORSE
    Vitamin C, however,
    helps to recycle
    vitamin E and
    therefore improves its
    effectiveness as an
    antioxidant.
    vitamin C has been
    purported to help
    prevent bleeding from
    the lungs and improve
    immune response.
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF
    HORSE
    Fat had been widely Horses have a band of
    overlooked as an muscle around the
    important ingredient esophagus as it enters the
    in horse feeds stomach. This band
    because horses do not prevents food from coming
    back up out of the stomach

    emulsifier needed for stored in its spleen that
    the breakdown of fat can be called upon when
    in the digestive tract intensive exercise is
    required.
    COMMON VICES OF HORSE
    Common stable vices include:
    Wood chewing (lignophagia): Gnawing
    on wood out of hunger or boredom. ...
    Cribbing: When the equine grabs a
    board or other surface with its teeth,
    arches its neck, and sucks in air. ...
    Weaving: Rocking back and forth in a
    repetitive fashion, possibly a self-
    stimulating behavior.

    SENSES OF HORSE
    Hearing A horses hearing is
    Smell much keener than ours.
    The horses range of
    Taste smell is more acute than
    Touch that of humans but less
    sensitive than that of
    Vision dogs
    Horses prefer sweet and
    salty tastes, so they will
    usually meet their
    requirement of salt if it is
    provided in a block form
    SENSES OF HORSE
    Horses tactile sensation, or touch, is
    extremely acute. Their entire body is as
    sensitive as our fingertips.
    It is very important to understand how
    the horses eyes work. They see primarily
    by monocular vision, meaning that they
    see different things out of each eye.
    Binocular vision (seeing the same out of
    both eyes) is used on a limited basis.
    BEHAVIOUR OF HORSE
    Basic maintenance behaviors include eating,
    resting, eliminating, grooming, and drinking.
    Horses typically have a daily pattern of
    behavior consistent with the management
    practices for each particular stable
    it appears to include true social facilitation--
    one animal's behavior appears to elicit the
    same behavior in neighbors. This is very
    similar to what is seen in herds of horses at
    pasture.
    BEHAVIOUR OF HORSE
    Normal behavior of stabled horses also includes
    dominant or submissive behavior toward stable mates,
    even though they may never have direct physical contact
    Unusual behavior or a change in behavior is often the
    first sign of physical pain or disease.
    Change in appetite, prolonged or seemingly unprovoked
    anxious or agitated states, and non-physiologic postures
    or movements (e.g., leaning the body or pressing the
    head against walls, sawhorse stance, cocked head,
    shifting weight on limbs, looking/kicking toward
    abdomen, lifting/ringing tail) are all examples of
    behaviors thatARE SIGNS OF PHYSICAL BEHAVIOUR
