Fact: horses have developed some facial muscles to imitate human facial expressions.

[@propertyofranger]

Fact 25 should say that horses can sleep either standing OR lying down. Some horses definitely do sleep lying down.

[@rhondab9792]

Horses may not be quite as intelligent as dogs, but they are far more intelligent than most owners, and usually turn their owner into an obedient servant.

Horses have small brains, compared to humans, but they have something called "horse sense" we don't have, and which can save your life. Mark Twain famously wrote about it in "Roughing It."

They can only reach rem sleep lying down. They only doze off when standing because their hips lock into place

[@lorijackson3414]

[@rhondab9792]

Horses do not salivate in order to stay hydrated. They produce so much saliva because they are designed to graze virtually all day long and need saliva to begin the digestion process.

[@Scott-et4kd]

Basically true, but the swallowing of saliva is a major source of nitric oxide, for massive blood oxygen levels, for physical performance and brain function. Might explain why horses, but most other animals, have relatively small brains.
