Horses have been domesticated for thousands of years and have played an important role in human history. They were used for transportation, agriculture, and warfare. Today, horses are still used for these purposes but are also kept as pets or used in sports such as horse racing and show jumping.

The word Pferd can also refer to the meat of a horse, which is consumed in some cultures. However, this practice is controversial and illegal in many countries.

In German culture, horses hold a special place and are celebrated in events such as Oktoberfest and the annual Munich Horse Show. The country is also home to several famous horse breeds, including the Hanoverian and the Trakehner.
