10. A
hoofed quadruped of the genus Equus;
especially,

which was domesticated in Egypt
and Asia
at a
very early period.
It has six broad molars,
on each side of each jaw,
with six incisors,
and two
canine teeth,
both above and below.
The mares usually
have the canine teeth rudimentary or wanting.
The horse differs
from the true asses,
in having a
long,
flowing mane,
and the tail bushy to the base.
Unlike the asses
it has callosities,
or chestnuts,
on all its legs.
The horse excels
in strength, speed,
docility, courage,
and nobleness of character,
and is used for drawing,
carrying,
bearing a
rider,
and like purposes.
