Trivia: What type of farm animal does the word “equine” describe?
Horse
Sheep
Cow
Ducks
The correct answer is Horse
So why is this answer correct? : Farms that are dedicated to horses are described as “equine.” This term originates from the Latin word for horse, “equus,” which also gives us the word equestrian, in relation to horseback riding. Equine working farms are popular in the U.S. and can involve any combination of boarding, breeding, training, and riding facilities. The National Agriculture Statistic Service estimates that there are nearly 460,000 working horse farms in the U.S., not including the many private or hobby equestrian farms.
