There are two types of flying horses: the two-legged ones that you see on screen in the video above, and the three-legged ones that I had to build and take apart to get these pictures. The three-legged flying horse is one of the few species of horse that doesn't have hooves.
This three-legged flying horse is the only one I've seen with hooves, and it seems to be a rare creature in the wild. It is the only flying horse on earth that doesn't have hooves. All others have hooves. In fact, it's possible to spot flying horses without seeing any hooves at all.

The female flying horse
The female flying horse, one of the world's largest flying animals, can fly up to 60 miles per hour. This is the only known animal that can fly at such high speeds, and its speed is nearly unmatched. Female flying horses are estimated to weigh between 100 and 200 pounds and grow to about 30 feet tall. This horse-like creature can run up to 20 miles per hour, but does not have the ability to hover. It has an unrivaled sense of smell, and is capable of sensing prey in the air at a range of several hundred feet. Flying Horses are capable of flying across large distances with ease. They are also capable of jumping as high as 60 feet off the ground. They have the ability to hover by moving their necks and front legs and then swinging their bodies into the air.
The female flying horse can do as many as 14 backflips, but she's still more comfortable on her back. She prefers to fly upside down instead of upside down backwards.
"The female flies like any other animal in that she tries to get into the safest and most comfortable position," says Michael Kasten, the museum's curator of birds.
"If the female is upside down, that's not the best position."

The female flying horse's backflip performance is "like a horse that has its rear legs tied together and can't turn," Kasten says.
Flying horse's extinction
The flying horse species, known for its unique, elongated bodies and for being able to fly, was on the brink of extinction.
It has not been seen since 1978, when it was thought to have declined by 90 per cent.
But in recent years scientists have been able to find records of a few surviving flying horses - most likely the descendants of the species that disappeared.
The last known flying horse was shot in South Africa in 1999, by a private owner and conservator, but the species is now considered extinct.
It is also thought extinct in the United States.
Mr Jantzen said the flying horse's extinction would have been catastrophic for South Africa, as the species was one of the world's tallest mammals and could easily have been seen from the sky, with its long neck, long ears and sharp nose.
But he said: "The most important thing about flying horses is the fact that they are very fast and can be used as a means of transport in dangerous areas, but also for recreation. This is particularly true of the flying horses. They need a stable and a stable man to help them in the countryside.
"The horse has a great memory, but if they are not fed properly they will die."
The horses are so popular they are a common sight at the horse fairs of the summer.
And they are so popular they are used in many popular children's games.
The Welsh people are said to have a great passion for horses and have a tradition of the Welsh horse, known locally as a bairn, being carried out of the castle at the end of a hunting trip.

Endangerment of the flying horse in Nepal
Flying horses are an endangered species in Nepal. Many of them are kept on the slopes of Mount Everest.
The elephants are kept in the same areas.
The elephants are used to ride the horses, while the horses ride the elephants.

The flying horse's territorial range
The flying horse is considered one of the world's oldest breeds. Its descendants can be found in many areas of the world, including Spain, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Mongolia, India, the former Soviet Union, China, Korea, Pakistan and Central and South American countries.
Some experts believe that it is the result of a combination of the ancient Mongolian horse breed and the horse's ability to quickly adapt to its environment.

The modern flying horse is believed to have been domesticated in the Near East region around 6,000 years ago and then spread across Europe and parts of Asia in the second millennium AD.
A few surviving flying horses have been found in Mongolia, India and Pakistan and they were believed to be able to fly in a manner similar to modern horses.
But since 2006, many of these flying horses have mysteriously disappeared and their bodies have been found near water. The bodies of two-dozen were recovered in 2009, but many others were never found, leaving many of these animals' deaths unsolved.
The creatures are thought to be highly territorial, and to live by their own rules. A single male has up to five female mates, but they are only allowed to mate with one other. Some animals, like the flying horses, have been seen attacking other flying horses, and other creatures have been seen eating flying horses' bodies.

Dutton's invention of a flying horse
My flying horse is a large, black and white horse with a short mane, and it was named after a character from the movie Dumbo.
In his autobiography, Dutton wrote that it took him two years to design and build his own flying horse, "the first of my many and many inventions". He claimed it was a one-off project, and that he did not make any more flying horses.
In the book, the book claims Dutton was not a natural inventor. This is a claim that Dutton would refute later in his autobiography.
The flying horse was a "flying" horse, a horse that would fly, by gravity and aerodynamics.
Dutton's first flying horse was designed on the same scale as an ordinary horse, but had no front legs and wings. It was, in fact, quite a small creature, which was the size of a chicken.
