Horse is among the animals visitors can meet at UK wildlife attractions.
Horses are magnificent, strong mammals known for their speed and grace. They primarily inhabit grasslands and open areas around the world, including fields and pastures in the UK. Horses are herbivores, mainly feeding on grasses, hay, and grains. While they are not assessed for conservation status as a species, certain breeds are at risk due to declining populations and changing farming practices. An interesting fact about horses is that they have been domesticated for thousands of years, playing roles in transport, agriculture, and companionship. Families in the UK can observe these incredible animals at various zoos and wildlife parks, where they often have opportunities for close encounters and educational experiences about their care and behaviour.
