Horses and humans interact in a wide variety of sport competitions and non-competitive recreational pursuits, as well as in working activities such as police work, agriculture, entertainment, and therapy. Horses were historically used in warfare, from which a wide variety of riding and driving techniques developed, using many different styles of equipment and methods of control. Many products are derived from horses, including meat, milk, hide, hair, bone, and pharmaceuticals extracted from the urine of pregnant mares.

El Caballo es un mamífero perisodáctilo domesticado de la familia de los équidos. Es un herbívoro solípedo de gran porte, cuello largo y arqueado, poblado por largas crines.

A la hembra del caballo se le llama yegua y a las crías si son machos potros o potrillos, y si son hembras potras o potrancas. La cría y utilización del caballo por parte del hombre se conoce como ganadería equina o caballar, y su domesticación se remonta a unos 3600 años a. C
