The horse is a graceful animal with large expressive eyes. It may seem that the eyes of an animal, framed by eyelashes, are very similar to human eyes, but the horse's vision is different from that of humans.
Instructions
Step 1
The horse is a herbivorous prey animal that is hunted by wild beasts. In this regard, the horses had to develop keen eyesight. After all, they need to notice the approaching predator as early as possible. If you are wondering what worried the horse, pay attention to its ears. They will be directed in the same direction as the animal is looking.
Step 2
After analyzing the composition of rods and cones in the retina of a horse's eye, scientists came to the conclusion that horses can be considered partly nocturnal animals - they see much better than people in the dark. The rider, whom the darkness found on the road, can completely rely on a clever creature, and only it will find its way.
Step 3
Unlike animals that are completely nocturnal, horses retained the ability to distinguish colors. Moreover, depending on the associations that arise when contemplating a particular shade, they may have their own preferences. For example, if a veterinarian, wearing a blue uniform, performed unpleasant manipulations with an animal, the horse may dislike blue.
Step 4
The horse's eyes are located on the sides of the muzzle, so its view is much wider than that of a person - almost 360 degrees. The animal does not see only what is happening directly behind her head. That is why it is not recommended to approach the horse from behind, and if such a need has arisen, you should first call it so that the animal, sensing danger, does not start kicking.
Step 5
The eye of a horse is different from that of a human. Sometimes horses look at an object with one eye, but binocular vision is exactly what allows you to estimate the distance to an object of interest and imagine its size. When riding, do not rush the horse, give it the opportunity to see unfamiliar objects. This will make it much easier to work with the animal.
