Hello! I am Hoof, a horse. I live at a farm with several oilier animals. I do light farm-work as well as pull the farmer's cart filled with potatoes and onions. My body is covered with a coat of shiny brown hair. I have large oval eyes and short pointed ears that can pick up sounds from almost any direction. My nostrils are very large and I have a keen sense of smell. Strong winds and heavy rain interfere with my sense of smell and make me nervous. My master has taught me to follow signals and commands. When he whistles, I run up to him. I have an excellent memory and can remember situations from a long time ago. I need to eat at least three times a day. My food is usually grass, grains, hay, and bran. I drink about 38 to 45 litres of water daily Apart from feeding me well, my master grooms me everyday with a rubber currycomb, body brush, hoof pick, and a mane, and a tail comb. My master looks after me very well.
