horses
Many people have learned that horses first came to the Americas when Spanish explorers brought them here about 500 years ago.
But fossils show horses have been in North America for centuries, including during the Americas during the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago.

I enjoy watching horses graze in a country field because, while they are busy and pleasantly occupied, they're not in a hurry.
They have no worries, no concerns about working their way through a list -- one that's generally unreasonably long and constantly added to. They don't even know what a list is.
But they do know a good, satisfying meal when they're munching on it.

Meet Sampson: The World’s Largest Horse.
In 1846, on a farm in Toddington Mills, Bedfordshire, England, a Shire horse named Sampson was born. This gentle giant grew to be one of the most remarkable horses in history due to his immense size and gentle nature. Shire horses are often large, but Sampson stood out even among them.
Sampson reached an astonishing height of 21.2½ hands (86.5 inches or about 220 cm) and weighed a staggering 3,360 pounds (1,524 kg).
