Funny you saying that. Have known folks who have horses say they are as dumb as a post. Wonder if they had dumb horses or if the horses "took them for a ride"?

When I bought my mare, at under 1 year, the seller said she was very intelligent and we would have to get along or I would need to sell her. She would be dangerous to me. Her mother tried to kill her, so she was hand raised. For some reason she didn't like men. We managed very well. We learned about riding together. She learned to bow and lay flat for me. I never bitted her so we didn't get into dressage. She was very crafty but always cooperative for me. She was a very bright horse, I loved dearly for all of her 37 years.

I have found, just like people, some are dumb and some are smart.
