How have we changed wild horses into domesticated horses?

Horses weren't always controlled by people. They lived in their herds with no disruptions from humans. But since then we have changed wild horses into domesticated horses.

Wild horses eat grass for up to 15hours a day and drink where and whenever they like but now domesticated horses only have up to 2 small meals per day which are full of lots of different vitamins and nutrients and will have water supplied to them in their stables for them to drink when they like. This is a good and bad thing. Horses in the wild don’t get all the nutrients they might need or they might have trouble finding fresh grass such as when the grass dries in the summer, but domesticated horses will always have fresh food that is full of vitamins and nutrients to keep them as fit and healthy as possible and they have specific meals made to

Domesticated horses will get treated for any type of illness. This is good because in the wild they wouldn’t get treatments for any illness which could then cause the horse to die, but if it was domesticated it could have been treated quickly and easily.

Domesticated horses have rugs and shelter at all times of the day but wild horses don’t, This is bad for the wild horses because they might not be able to stay warm in the winter or be able to find shelter when its cold but if the horse was domesticated then they would have warmth and shelter all year round and they wouldn't have to find it.

In the wild horses would always be exercised and would be able to do it when they wanted, but domesticated horses have planned exercise such as 20minutes of lunging or a riding lesson or being turned out in a field. This can be good and bad because while people are making sure they get enough exercise and stay healthy, they wouldn't have as much freedom as the wild

    Some animals can only live in a certain climate, therefore many places don’t have practical working animals to help them harvest food and spare them the extra work. But it’s not just working animals. For example, sheep, which are often kept for wool, can’t be found in warm climates such as Papua New Guinea because it doesn’t need to grow wool to stay warm. Domesticating animals is difficult because of the specific criteria the animal has to fit. They can’t be vicious and have to be pretty large with some muscle power. Nevertheless, it’s preferable that they’re herbivores. Any meat that people gather they’re going to want to keep and eat themselves for protein, they aren’t going to want to feed it to their animal. Also, their animals won’t eat them if it gets hungry. Another factor is that they be able to…

    Today, it is confusing to understand what meat to eat and not eat unless you understand certain facts. Research shows that grass fed meat offers a number of health benefits in comparison to the traditional grain-fed meat. For years, animals have been fed a mixture of grains, corn and other substances that may produce the largest animals, but not necessarily the healthiest meat from those animals. This is all changing with studies showing an increase in nutrients and reduction of fat by allowing the animals to forage for their food in grass fields. We list a number of the benefits to consuming meat that comes from grass-fed animals in our following information.…

    Horse Slaughter

    In his first term, there was talk that Obama wanted to find the funding for the inspection processes of horse slaughter houses and the meat itself, so that horse meat could be sold here in the U.S. Some perfectly healthy horses end up dying of a disease related to the conditions they are kept at slaughter houses. Their paddocks, for example, never cleaned. The people, who run the slaughter houses, are not concerned with deworming or vaccinating each horse. When horses are not getting the nutrition they need, they tend to eat their own, or another horse’s feces. A disease such as the “Mad Cow” disease can be passed between horses by them eating the stool of an infected horse. This disease has been known to kill humans. It is not as common as salmonella, but still a possibility in unsanitary environments. Without the proper funding for the sanitation, inspection of such, and inspection of the meat, there are thousands of diseases we humans can get. We can have reactions to a disease the horse may have, a medicine they were receiving before arriving at the slaughter houses, or from the bugs that get inside the…

    If they are in the wild, it would depend on the factor of predator and prey. If an animal is high on the food chain, they are prey for a lot of animals do not have many rights and live day by day in hopes of not being killed. If the animal is domesticated like a dog or cat the rights are different (or should be). They should not have to live in fear and in constant search of their next meal, they should be living more peaceful. There is a major problem with domesticated animals though, because almost anyone can buy a cat or dog and humans do not always have the best intentions for them. Dogs get put into dog fights, and animals of all kinds are mistreated by owners or thrown out because they do not want to take care of them any longer. There are also animals used for experimenting like rabbits, mice and rats. These animals have no rights and are not treated as living beings with feelings like they are.…
