3 Unit IV. Horse Grammar: Reported Speech Text: Text A Health and the horse I. Read the text and then give it a title. The horse (Equus caballus) is a large ungulate mammal. For centuries horses have been one of the most economically important domesticated animals, especially used for farm work and for transportation. The history of the horse is prominent in religion, mythology, art, transportation, agriculture and warfare. Most horses perform work such as carrying humans or are harnessed to pull objects such as carts or plows. Hundreds of distinct horse breeds have been developed, allowing horses to be specialized for certain tasks; lighter horses for racing or riding, heavier horses for farming and other tasks requiring pulling power. Some horses, such as the miniature horse, can be kept as pets. In some societies, horses are a source of food, both meat and milk; in others it is taboo to consume these products. In industrialized countries, horses are predominantly kept for leisure and sporting pursuits, while in other parts of the world they are still used as working animals. Horses and humans have lived and worked together for thousands of years. Depending on breed, management and environment, the domestic horse today has a life of 25 to 30 years. The oldest verifiable record was "Old Billy," a horse that lived in the 19th century to the age of 62. In modern times, Sugar Puff, who had been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest pony, died at age 56. Horse breeds are groups of horses with distinctive characteristics, such as conformation, color, performance, intelligence or disposition that are transmitted consistently to their offspring. These inherited traits are usually the result of a combination of natural crosses and artificial selection methods aimed at developing horses for specific tasks. Certain breeds are known for certain talents, for example, Standardbreds are known for their speed in harness. Some breeds have been developed through centuries of crossings with other breeds, while others such as Tennessee Walking Horses and Morgans developed from a single sire with a tremendous influence. There are more than 300 horse breeds in the world today.

A healthy pony or horse is alert, bright eyed and takes an interest in all that goes on around it. The base of the ears should be warm to the touch. Signs of illness vary, but there are some general symptoms. A field-kept pony which stays for a long time in one place, a horse which goes off its food, a willing horse which suddenly becomes "nappy" all these sings are indications that something is wrong. Other symptoms include: discharge from the eyes or nostrils;; restlessness; general lack of interest; sweating; kicking or biting at the flank; lameness; diarrhea; apparent difficulty in breathing; coughing. Lameness is the commonest form of disability in the horse. Treating most forms of it is usually best left to an expert. Wounds and injuries are another common problem. First bring the bleeding under control applying a pressure ban­dage. Clip the hair from the skin around the wound and clean it thoroughly. Then coat with an anti-biotic powder and dress. Like humans, horses can easily catch skin diseases, par­ticularly in unhygienic conditions. Skin diseases include lice, ringworm, sweet itch, mud fever, pustular dermatitis, and nettle rash. Teeth and stomach cab both give the horse problems. Both demand serious attention. Signs of healthy horse Signs of an ill horse Most common problems Treating wounds

The domestic dog has been one of the most widely kept working and companion animals in human history, as well as being a food source in some cultures. There are estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world. The dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds. Height measured to the withers ranges from a few inches in the Chihuahua to a few feet in the Irish Wolfhound; color varies from white through grays (usually called blue) to black, and browns from light (tan) to dark ("red" or "chocolate") in a wide variation of patterns; and, coats can be very short to many centimeters long, from coarse hair to straight or curly, or smooth. Modern dog breeds show more variation in size, appearance, and behavior than any other domestic animal. Dogs are predators and scavengers, possessing sharp teeth and strong jaws for attacking, holding, and tearing their food. Like many other predatory mammals, the dog has powerful muscles, fused wristbones, a cardiovascular system that supports both sprinting and endurance, and teeth for catching and tearing. A dog can identify a sound's location much faster than a human can, as well as hear sounds up to four times the distance that humans are able to.
