Is that all, always thought there was more like giraffes or something
A giraffe is closer to a cow, a sheep or a goat than it is to a horse (because they're all ruminants).
I may be wrong, but aren't giraffes members of the camel family ?

So there not equestrian? Well now I know
^^^ No. The name 'Giraffa camelopardalis' comes about simply because giraffes were thought to bear physical resemblances to both camels and leopards. In reality, a giraffe is no more related to a camel than it is to a leopard.
As far as I'm aware only humans ride but the circus may have a chimp equestrian or two :-)
I always thought that part of the definition was that horses, zebras, donkeys and asses have one hoof. Where as sheep, cows, giraffes etc have a cloved hoof
If you mean the different breeds of horses, there are literally hundreds, but all belong to the domestic horse species.
