Are horses covered with fur or hair?

While the word "fur" is often used to describe the coat of animals, it's technically more accurate to call it hair in the case of horses.

Here's why:

* Fur is typically denser and thicker than hair, and it's often found on animals that live in cold climates.

* Hair is generally softer and finer than fur, and it's more common in animals that live in warmer climates.

While horses have a thick, warm coat during winter, it's still considered hair because it's softer and thinner than the fur of animals like bears or foxes.
