| Here we can see a herd of trotting white and dark horses. Their coat is being moved by the
wind. Horses are mammals, and as such are all "warm-blooded" creatures, as opposed to
reptiles, which are cold-blooded. However, these words have developed a separate meaning in
the context of equine description, used to describe temperament, not body temperature. For example, the "hot-bloods", such as race horses, exhibit more sensitivity and energy, while the "cold-bloods," such as most draft breeds, are quieter, calmer creatures |
