The oldest living horse on record is currently believed to be a pony named Shayne, who lived to be 51 years old. Shayne, from Australia, passed away in 2004 but holds the title for the oldest known living horse.
Yes. The origin of measuring a horse this way is very old, but easy to understand. In days long ago people did not have the common measuring devices (like tape measures, etc.) that we do today. To measure a horse, they used their hands. Somewhere along the way, the measuring unit of a hand was standardized to mean four inches. Though the origins are ancient, a hand is still the unit of measurement for horses that modern horse owners use today.

Baked when people were hung for stealing a horse it was terrible because people used their horses for travel, and there was great distance between towns so it was a matter of life and death. Also people used their horses on their farms it was their way to make a living. Lastly sometimes if needed they would use the horse for food.
Human beings have been known to live on, in, or under bridges still today. Typically, these people are homeless, and this sort of living behavior is usually seen in bigger cities.
