The horse (Equus caballus or Equus ferus caballus) is a large odd-toed ungulate mammal, one of ten modern species of the genus Equus. Horses have long been one of the most economically important domesticated animals, and have played an important role in the transport of people and cargo for thousands of years. While isolated domestication may have occurred as early as 10,000 years ago, clear evidence of widespread horse use by humans dates to around 2000 BCE.
Like few other animals, horses can be ridden, either with or without a saddle. They can also be harnessed to pull objects like carriages or plows. In some cultures, horses are a source of food, including horse meat and sometimes milk; in other cultures it is taboo to eat them.
Today, in wealthy countries, horses are predominently kept for leisure and sporting pursuits. However, around the world they continue to fulfill a wide range of economic functions.
Humans have bred horses for millennia, resulting in many different breeds. As with breeds dogs, horse breeds are specialized to develop particular qualities or abilities; for example, thoroughbreds were developed for racing speed.
