Horses are pretty stupid animals

They aren't studies have shown they are inteligent, one study where
they usedsymbols of a horse with a blanket on it and symbols of a
horse
without a blanket in it.
Then they put blankets on those horses and showed them that sign and
they did the same for no blanket on a hoser the horses worked out
that
if they wanted the blanket taken off because they were hot to hit
the
no blanket sign and visa versa. So thought the summer winter the
horse
were telliong the staff whether or not they wanted a blanket over
them
by hitting on the appropriate panel.

I have no doubt horses can be trained to do many things but they
do
appear very stupid.

Appearing to be stupid doesn't mean much. I bet man appears pretty
stupid
to horse that have known whether they are hot or cold all along and man
has been adding or removing things irrespective of what the horses have
wanted.


I believe this comes from them being prey animals in that they
react
THEN think of what they should do.

What do you mean by prey animals what animals hunt horses ?

Lions and tigers etc, stupid.

They also seem to have no conception of what size they are or
where
any part of them is hence forever leaning against people and standing
on
their feet etc.

They seem to be able to jump pretty high and perhaps leaning
aganst someone or standing on there feet is a sign of domination.

Nar they dont do it deliberately most of the time.

So you don't know why they do it

Corse I do, they do it by accident, just like humans
do when they step on someone else's foot too.

May cat does a similar thing usually when
I'm near her food bowl and she's hungry,
I think it's an attempt to keep me there in
that vicinity, she;ll walk on my feet and walk
in from of me if I attempt top leave the vicinity
without feeding her, if she didn't do anything
then how would I know she wanted food.

Horses dont do anything like that.

Some animals can communicate with humans provided
the humans are inteligent enough to understand
unfortunaly not many humans have that inteligence.

Yep, you dont have a ****ing clue what horses are about.

Horses can communicate danger amd other
things to each other just by moving their ears

That isnt what they are doing.

Thats not communicating with each other, ****wit.

Humans do that a hell of a lot better with facial expression, stupid.
