In view of the recent Artemis II launch, let's look at the Swiss Lunar Landing Hoax of 1967 - a Swiss radio station interrupted regular program with news that American astronauts had landed on the moon, & even had interviews with experts - 2 years before the actual moon landing!

In one of the earliest recorded instances of an April Fool's Prank, the Dawkes's News-letter reported (on April 2 1698 ) that "several persons were sent to the Tower Ditch to see the Lions Washed". There was, in fact no lions in the moat of the Tower of London.

In conclusion, horses are basically built to be SPEED RUNNING ON ONE TOE / FINGER ON EACH LIMB, with ALL THE ANXIETY OF PRAY ANIMALS, and the most questionable INSIDES. Seriously, HOW ARE THESE FELLAS EVEN STILL AROUND?!?! AND WE'RE NOT EVEN DONE WITH ALL OF THE HORSE FACTS!

Secretariat - a record setting racehorse - had an exceedingly large heart , estimated to weigh 22lbs (10kg). In comparison, a thoroughbred's heart averages 9lbs (4kg). He went on to sir 663 foals, producing many winners before being put down at 19 due to laminitis.

A larger heart also provides an atheletic advantage to horses - as a larger heart can move a larger volume of oxygenated blood to the muscles. However, a larger heart can also put the horse at risk of ventricular arrythmias, resulting in sudden death.

Because of how inefficient horse lungs are, they need additional ways to improve oxygenation during strenous activity. ENTER THE HORSE SPLEEN - which acts as a high-capacity warehouse of red blood cells, ready to dump them out into the blood stream duiring exercise

An additional effect from how they breath also means that horses hold the breath during jumps - and will not breathe again until they land - when the insides slam up against their diaphragm and they exhale.

This also means that when moving at speed, one stride = one breath - which means the faster the horse runs, the faster they breathe (because the faster their insides slam up against their diaphragm. This is know as respiratory-locomotor.

Instead, when moving at speed, they breath via the movement of their legs and diaphragm - with the diaphragm working like a plunger in a syringe (the chest cavity) and the GUT SLAMMING INTO THE DIAPHRAGM FOR THAT PRESSURE.

Horses also don't breathe by expanding and contracting their chest cavity when running - they can only do that at rest or while walking or trotting! As such, it's also not possible to train their lungs like humans do to breathe more efficiently

Because horses are obligate nasal breathers (they can't breathe through their mouth, only their nose) , the resistance in the upper nasal passage means catching a cold is REAAAAALLLY HORRIBLE for them.

HOWEVER...Those massive lungs are rate limited. Due to the size of their heart and how their chest cavity functions, they can only use about a third (18L) of the 60L volume. On top of that, it's twice as hard for them to breathe during exercise.

Now that we are sufficiently horrified by the horse gut... let's address the horses ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE LUNGS - WITH A TOTAL CAPACITY OF 50 - 55 LITRES. At rest, a horse moves 60 litres of air a minute. In comparison, a healthy human would move 8 litres of air a minute.

So It comes as no surprise then, that Colic is a number one cause of equine death. Colic in this case refers to issues from Gas buildup , Impaction, Displacement and Torsion. Some issues can be eased by encouraging movement - so many owners would walk their colicky horses

Continuing on the bizarre gut of the horse - their hindgut, which includes the caecum, large colon, small colon, rectum and anus, makes up 60% of their ENTIRE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACK, and holds up to a whooping 124 LITRES OF FEED AND FLUID.

That said, carbohydrates and sugars are STILL important to horses - if they are involved in high-metobolic activies like trainings and competitions, these feeds can help meet the increased energy demands.
