      The Equidae family consists of horses, asses and zebras and there are 9 species within this genus and the domestic horse or pony is “Equus caballus”.
      They’re related to things like rhinos and tapirs which can be surprising.

      I honestly have no idea. 3? 4? I think Carrie is probably much better suited to answer this question, I’m so sorry.

      Thankfully Carrie has answered this one, I am no expert at horses.
