Horse breeding is reproduction in horses, and particularly the human-directed process of selective breeding of animals, particularly purebred horses of a given breed. Planned matings can be used to produce specifically desired characteristics in domesticated horses.
By comparing the values for horses in a given race, a bettor can identify which horses have a more speed oriented pedigree, and which have a more stamina oriented pedigree. From a breeding point of view, stallions with a low AWD number are considered to be speed influences, and may be bred to mares whose broodmare sire has a higher number to ...
Horses can recognize individual humans and other horses [S 109] using simple auditory cues, such as a voice, or visual cues, like facial features. [ S 54 ] [ P 13 ] [ 71 ] [ 72 ] Experiments have shown that horses can discriminate between faces in photographs or films [ S 36 ] and associate these with real individuals. [ 71 ]

Horse behavior is best understood from the view that horses are prey animals with a well-developed fight-or-flight response.Their first reaction to a threat is often to flee, although sometimes they stand their ground and defend themselves or their offspring in cases where flight is untenable, such as when a foal would be threatened.
These methods may vary as to how unpredictable or statistically random they are, and how quickly they can generate random numbers. Before the advent of computational random number generators , generating large amounts of sufficiently random numbers (which is important in statistics) required a lot of work.
