Hounds and other dogs are used to kill and fetch prey. Certain breeds have been bred for this task such as pointers and setters. Fear, Sally (2006).

Caracals are sometimes used as hunting animals in some parts of the Middle East, although they are normally kept as pets. Studies have indicated that horses perform a number of cognitive tasks on a daily basis, meeting mental challenges that include food procurement and identification of individuals within a social system. They also have good spatial discrimination abilities. [96] They are naturally curious and apt to investigate things they have not seen before. [97] Studies have assessed equine intelligence in areas such as problem solving, speed of learning, and memory. Horses excel at simple learning, but also are able to use more advanced cognitive abilities that involve categorization and concept learning. They can learn using habituation, desensitization, classical conditioning, and operant conditioning, and positive and negative reinforcement. [96] One study has indicated that horses can differentiate between "more or less" if the quantity involved is less than four. [98]

The horses' senses are based on their status as prey animals, where they must be aware of their surroundings at all times. [72] They have the largest eyes of any land mammal, [73] and are lateral-eyed, meaning that their eyes are positioned on the sides of their heads. [74] This means that horses have a range of vision of more than 350°, with approximately 65° of this being binocular vision and the remaining 285° monocular vision. [73] Horses have excellent day and night vision, but they have two-color, or dichromatic vision; their color vision is somewhat like red-green color blindness in humans, where certain colors, especially red and related colors, appear as a shade of green. [75] The size of horses varies by breed, but also is influenced by nutrition. Light-riding horses usually range in height from 14 to 16hands (56 to 64inches, 142 to 163cm) and can weigh from 380 to 550 kilograms (840 to 1,210lb). [25] Larger-riding horses usually start at about 15.2hands (62inches, 157cm) and often are as tall as 17hands (68inches, 173cm), weighing from 500 to 600 kilograms (1,100 to 1,320lb). [26] Heavy or draft horses are usually at least 16hands (64inches, 163cm) high and can be as tall as 18hands (72inches, 183cm) high. They can weigh from about 700 to 1,000 kilograms (1,540 to 2,200lb). [27]For the hiring of horses, a listed vet must be appointed for the initial inspection, for a renewal inspection, and for the annual inspection for the hiring of horses. A 2021 genetic study suggested that most modern domestic horses descend from the lower Volga-Don region. Ancient horse genomes indicate that these populations influenced almost all local populations as they expanded rapidly throughout Eurasia, beginning about 4,200 years ago. It also shows that certain adaptations were strongly selected due to riding, and that equestrian material culture, including Sintashta spoke-wheeled chariots spread with the horse itself. [158] [159] A horse’s behaviour should never be taken for granted – even the oldest and quietest horse can behave unpredictably at times. A horse’s natural instinct dictates either “fight or flight” as a defence reaction if feeling threatened. When around horses, the following should be remembered: people who occasionally lend a horse, even if a small fee is charged, where there is no profit made and no intent to make a profit

The licence holder must keep a register of all horses kept for the licensable activity on the premises and each horse’s valid passport showing its unique equine life number and microchip number (if any). If a business meets the higher standards, it will qualify for a longer licence that’s valid for 2 or 3 years rather than one year. This lowers the cost of the licence.Detection dogs, commonly employed by law enforcement authorities, are trained to use their senses to detect illegal drugs, explosives, currency, and contraband electronics such as illicit mobile phones, among other things. [27] The sense most used by detection dogs is smell, hence such dogs are also commonly known as 'sniffer dogs'. For this task, dogs may sometimes be used remotely from the suspect item, for example via the Remote Air Sampling for Canine Olfaction (RASCO) system. [28]

[225] Horse blood was once used as food by the Mongols and other nomadic tribes, who found it a convenient source of nutrition when traveling. Drinking their own horses' blood allowed the Mongols to ride for extended periods of time without stopping to eat. [225] The drug Premarin is a mixture of estrogens extracted from the urine of pregnant mares ( pregnant mares' ur ine), and was previously a widely used drug for hormone replacement therapy. [226] The tail hair of horses can be used for making bows for string instruments such as the violin, viola, cello, and double bass. [227] Horses are unpredictable and it’s essential that if you want to start learning to ride you do so in a safe environment, under the supervision of an experienced person and with the appropriate safety equipment.
