The horse's wide range of monocular vision has two "blind spots," or areas where the animal cannot see: in front of the face, making a cone that comes to a point at about 90–120 cm (3–4 ft) in front of the horse, and right behind its head, which extends over the back and behind the tail when standing with the head facing straight forward.
The horse (Equus ferus caballus) [2] [3] is a domesticated, one-toed, hoofed mammal. It belongs to the taxonomic family Equidae and is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today.
The horse has a wide field of monocular vision, as well as good visual acuity. Horses have two-color, or dichromatic vision, which is somewhat like red-green color blindness in humans. [30] Because the horse's vision is closely tied to behavior, the horse's visual abilities are often taken into account when handling and training the animal.
This is a list of the horse breeds usually considered to be native to Indonesia. [1] [2] Some may have complex or obscure histories, so inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively Indonesian.
Horses were introduced to Java in unknown date, they are descended from Tibetan or Mongol-type horses. [6]: 39 It is possible that ancient stocks were brought to Indonesia by the Chinese Tang dynasty in the 7th century, recorded as being given to Dja-va (Kalingga kingdom), Dva-ha-la, and Dva-pa-tan (Bali).
Blinkers, also known as blinders, blinds and winkers, are a part of horse harness and tack which limits a horse's field of vision—blocking vision to the sides, the rear, or both. [1]: 56 [2] Blinkers are usually seen in horse driving and in horse racing (both harness and ridden), but rarely in horse riding. [3]: 20
The Sumbawa Pony (Indonesian: kuda-Sumbawa) is a pony breed, named after the island on which they are bred, Sumbawa Island in Indonesia. This breed is very similar to the Sumba or Sandalwood Pony, a breed also developed in these islands, which came from crossing the native ponies on horses of Arabian breeding. [1]
Lombok pony, model, from the archives of the Collectie Stichting Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen (1900-1940). The Lombok averages 1.22 m in length according to CAB International (2016) [2] and the second edition of the University of Oklahoma Encyclopedia (2007), [4] but smaller measurements are sometimes reported, averaging 1.11 m for females and 1.14 m for males.
