Do horses always stand still?
First of all, let us know that how true it is that horses always stand still. It cannot be said that horses never sit or cannot sit.

Now the question is what happens in the horse’s body that they do not need to sit. Many reasons are considered behind this. One or two, they have a straight back ie straight waist, due to which the horse can neither stand nor sit easily. That’s why the horse always thinks it is right to stand. Along with this, the horse comes in the category of those animals, which are afraid of hunting. In such a situation, it is believed that if the horse remains sitting and a hunter comes, it cannot get up quickly and run away. In this position he always stands and runs away easily when needed.
