New Research Shows Horses Are Far More Intelligent Than We Thought:

Horses are far more intelligent than most people realize, with cognitive abilities that place them among the smartest animals.

They have demonstrated skills in problem-solving, emotional intelligence, memory, and learning that rival those of many other species. For example, horses are known for their cleverness in opening stable doors or untying knots, showcasing their capacity for strategic thinking.

Emotionally, they form deep, empathetic bonds with humans and can sense feelings like pride or shame, often mirroring their human companions' emotions.

Their impressive cognitive skills also allow them to recognize symbols, communicate preferences, and adapt to complex situations, such as responding to commands in therapeutic environments.

One study even revealed that horses can adjust their communication based on whether humans are aware of hidden food, increasing visual and tactile signals like looking or nudging when their caretakers were unaware.

This ability to understand and respond to the knowledge state of others—previously thought to be unique to primates—illustrates the sophistication of horse cognition. Horses actively attempt to communicate with humans in much the same way they would with their herd members, making horse-human communication a true two-way street.

While horses may not match the intellectual capabilities of elephants, they are often considered more intelligent than dogs or cats in some areas, excelling in equine-assisted therapies where their sensitivity to human emotions makes them invaluable in psychological treatments.

This is worth reading several times. Terrific scientific explanation.

Tomo’s Tuesdee Tamin Tip
The Corpora Nigra and how it will help you or hinder you .
So the Corpora Nigra is the squiggly bit jutting out from above the pupil in the horses eye
Its job is to shade the pupil from bright sun but in doing so it inhibits the horse’s field of view especially the upper border of the horse’s field of view.
If you’ve followed along for any length of time you’ll of heard me talk about the line in the horses eye where fear lives .
I call this the block drive line .
It’s the line between monocular vision and binocular vision.
If you’re in front of this line and creating energy you’ll be blocking the horse , if you’re behind this line and creating energy you’ll be driving the horse forward .
The reason that fear lives in this line is .. if a predator was chasing a horse and the horse was looking back at the predator in its monocular vision.. it’s in full flight .. if the predator was to go from monocular into the binocular vision that means that the horse’s number 1 form of defence
(Flight) has been compromised .
The horse has been outrun . This is when the predator attacks and the fight to the death occurs .
Prior to the domestication of the horse .. around 6000 years ago .. predators did not cross this line in close proximity to the horse .. unlike we do everyday with our horses ..
For 55 million years prior to domestication.. if a predator crossed the line between monocular and binocular vision.. at close range .. it was on for young and old ..

Going from Binocular to monocular vision..
The binocular vision has depth perception the monocular vision does not have depth perception.
So anything crossing the block drive line from binocular to monocular or from front to back.. this can trigger the horse as the horse cannot tell how far away the predator or scary predator like object
is once it’s looking at said object with one eye ..
So again the block drive line acts as a border between life and death for the horse.
This is why shying occurs.
So getting back to the Corpora Nigra
This fuzzy line above the pupil acts as a sun shade
for the pupil but also obscures vision above the pupil .
So the Uber duber super scary area in the horses field of view is on the block drive line aka the line between one eye and two and then up above the Corpora Nigra .
The horse is knows that your hand or your body or
your tools are on the block drive line where fear lives … but now the scary thing has disappeared from the horses field of view .. and this makes it extra scary .
I use this every day as a way of moving the horses front end .
The hand or the cap in the hand or the flag move in and out of the field of view accompanied by my favourite horse moving noise ..
And boom .. the front end yields .
This comes under the heading of knowing where to be and when to be there .
When you know where to be and when to be there ..
You’re starting to get half handy .I hope this makes sense
Lotsa love .Lucky Luke .

More fantastic opportunities with Leslie Desmond. Leslie will also be passing through for a few day as she travels west for more clinics if anyone would like to book a private session with her early next week. There may be an opportunity for her to work with you and your horse one on one. You can call her at the number on the flyer or talk to Jenn at the barn 💕🐎
