Well, they are cousins. They both eat grass, they both have a single toe, or hoof, on each foot. They both live in herds, and they both give birth to 1 foal (live twins are 1 in 50,000 for horse and I'm sure similar for zebras). And they both have manes and tails, although they look different. And zebras can be trained, ridden, and driven just like horses, but they are quite difficult to train.
Both are members of the family Equus, and share a similar physical appearance. Their gaits -- walk, trot, canter and gallop -- are also alike. However, zebras are wild animals that are rarely domesticated, while horses have been ridden, driven and kept as pets for thousands of years. Zebras have a spectacular patterned coat of black and white, or brown and white, stripes, while horses' bodies, necks and heads are not striped. (The rare exception is the brindled horse, but its pattern of stripes is different from a zebra's.) Horses are usually a solid color, such as dark brown, sorrel or tan, but may have white leg and facial markings, a dappled coat, black, brown or white spots or splotches, and other coat patterns, which zebras never have.
Zebras are also smaller than horses, usually between 12 and 14 hands. (A hand is four inches.) Horses are over 14.2 hands, and may be as tall as 17 hands or more. In addition, a zebra has a short, bristly mane and a thin tail with a tuft of hair at the end. A horse has a long, flowing mane and a tail to match. While horses make a variety of sounds, including neighs, whinnies, whickers and screams, a zebra's vocalization sounds like a bark.
Zebras and horses are both Equine animals. Zebras are horses, in another term, Zebras are horses with stripes.
im sure its zebras that leapords eat..and theyre similar to horses
Zebras are like horses. Horses do not prefer snow, neither do Zebras.
Horses can't be bred from zebras. Zebras have a different chromosome count than horses. Crossing them produces a sterile hybrid just as occurs when breeding horses and donkeys.
zebras can run faster than horses
The scientific name for zebras is Equus zebra, and for horses, it is Equus ferus caballus. Both zebras and horses belong to the same genus, Equus.
Zebras and horses are mammals because they give birth to live young (their foals).
No,zebras are in the horse family, but are not horses..They are born with their stripes.
No zebras are not horses. They are to totally different animals.
Stuffed Zebras should mimic an actual Zebra,althought horses and Zebras are very siilar in apperance.

Zebras make many sounds:Bark--Unlike the "neigh" of horses, zebras use a high-pitched yip or bark which sounds somewhat like a dog.Snort--Both horses and zebras snort. This typically a short, sharp burst of air through the nostrils with the mouth closed.Nicker--Horses and Zebras nicker, which is blowing through the nose and lips to create kind of a "whiffle" sound.Bray--Zebras also bray, similar to a donkey or mule.
