this information from wikipedia:\nThe horse (Equus caballus or Equus ferus caballus) is a sizeable 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. Most notably, horses can be ridden by a person perched on a saddle attached to the animal, ridden bareback, and are also widely harnessed to pull objects like wheeled vehicles or plows. In some human cultures, horses are also widely used as a source of food. It has been suggested that isolated domestication may have occurred as early as 10,000 years ago, but clear evidence of widespread use by humans dates to around 2000 B.C., as evidenced by the Sintashta chariot burials, thus firmly establishing the domestication of the horse; however, the ability to have a horse (or horses) willingly pull a chariot (or any wheeled vehicle) implies many generations of selective breeding and a large store of knowledge about horse behavior, which pushes the date of whatever we choose to call "domestication" considerably backwards.\n\nPresently, there are many types of horses. Some are very well known for certain particular qualities or abilities: Thoroughbreds are known for being race horses, while miniature horses serve as mounts for very small children, if they are ridden at all.\n\nUntil the middle of the 20th century, armies used horses extensively in warfare; soldiers still refer to the groups of machines that have replaced horses on the battlefield as "cavalry" units, and sometimes preserve traditional horse-oriented names for military units (Lord Strathcona's Horse).

Pbs.org is a great website - has lots of different stuff on it, based on the different shows. My kids always liked the Zoom portion of it.  There's also the website for American Girls which has lots of history and other stuff on it.

Please don't teach your 20 year old horse anything.  It's like teaching your 97 year old grandmother to play football, lol.  Just walk it, feed it and groom it.   "Horse sense"

National Geographic website. Excellent pictures. Also check out Google images search, using words such as "wild animal" or the type of animal you seek. How about ZooBooks? They have really good pictures also.
