Full length chaps originate from the USA where they were worn by cowboys to protect the complete leg while working. They consist of two independent leg coverings attached at the waist by a belt and are worn over jodhpurs. Full length chaps are available in a variety of materials including leather, suede and waxed waterproof versions. Full chaps help to keep the legs warm and dry whilst riding which can be particularly useful during the winter. In Australia horses that measure from 14 hands to 15 hands are known as a galloway, and ponies in Australia measure under 14 hands.

Przewalski's Horse has some biological differences from the domestic horse; unlike domesticated horses and the Tarpan, which both have 64 chromosomes, Przewalski's Horse has 66 chromosomes due to a Robertsonian translocation.
