Horse breeds are loosely divided into three categories based on general temperament: spirited "hot

bloods" with speed and endurance; "cold bloods", such as draft horses and some ponies, suitable for
slow, heavy work; and "warmbloods", developed from crosses between hot bloods and cold bloods,
often focusing on creating breeds for specific riding purposes, particularly in Europe. There are more
than 300 breeds of horse in the world today, developed for many different uses.

Horses and humans interact in a wide variety of sport competitions and non-competitive recreational
pursuits, as well as in working activities such as police work, agriculture, entertainment, and therapy.
Horses were historically used in warfare, from which a wide variety of riding and driving techniques
developed, using many different styles of equipment and methods of control. Many products are
derived from horses, including meat, milk, hide, hair, bone, and pharmaceuticals extracted from the
urine of pregnant mares. Humans provide domesticated horses with food, water and shelter, as well
as attention from specialists such as veterinarians and farriers.
