These are race horses - and race horses really are the devil of

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.



any part of them is hence forever leaning against people and standing
on
their feet etc.


So humans forever stand on other peoples feet


Nope, and horses dont either.

so why do you think horses are stupid if it's an accident.


I in fact never said that horses standing on peoples feet is stupid.

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.


you're an expert on horses now ?


Obviously know a hell of a lot more about them than you do.

can you tell me why you think horses... "hence forever "


Try that again in english. I dont read gobbledegook.

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.






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.


at least I donlt think they are hiding behind tress


They do sometimes do that anyway.

or forever standing and leaning against humans.


Never ever said anything even remotely like that, ****wit.

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


That isnt what they are doing.


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...-thoughts.html


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


you didn't read it did you.


Yes I did.

Read the words.


Doesnt say anything like that.

When a horse is interested, it pricks up its ears and swivels them
around
Ears flopped down means creature is relaxed and pinned back shows anger


Says nothing about them communicating with other horses that way, ****wit.

These movements are so important that, if a horse's ears are
covered up, another horse struggles to know what it is thinking.


Even sillier than you usually manage, and thats saying something.

So yes horses do communicate with their ears,


Nope.

and horses donlt cover up their own ears ****wit,
it;s the huamns that cover up the horses ears


Humans do nothing of the kind.

and it;s the humans that put blinkers on horses


Not so they can't see other horses ears.

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