The mother horse generally has one baby in the spring, and feeds the baby milk. Horses have long legs, and big eyes that can see almost all the way around them. They can walk, trot, gallop and jump.  \nYoung horses that are one year old or younger are called foals . A young female horse is called a filly, and a young male horse is called a colt. After 4 years, a horse is considered an adult. Many people think that a pony is a young horse, but that is incorrect.

They generally sleep standing up, so that ifa predator approaches, they can run away quickly. Horses only need  \nabout three hours of sleep per day! Their hooves  \nneed to be taken care of . Horse hooves are like our fingernails, which need to be trimmed. If a horse is doing a lot of walking on hard ground, people put horseshoes on them, then take off the  \nhorseshoes when the hooves need trimming. New horseshoes are then put on.  \nFor food, horses eat foods such as grass, hay, oats, corn, apples, and carrots. They are herbivores, meaning they do not eat other animals. Their stomachs are small, so  \nthey need small, frequent feedings .  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nThere are wild horses , but many people have horses as pets , too. They  \nride the horses and may teach the horses tricks. When people first started to take horses as pets , they were just used for work. The horses would pull carriages so people could ride places , or plows so the farmers could more easily tend their fields. Horses were also used to move goods from place to place , by carrying objects on their backs. Some horses now work as  \ntherapy horses.
