What is the cognitive ability of horses?
Hello,
In this video, a mare constantly opens the door herself as soon as her rider tells her to.
It can distinguish whether the door is locked or just ajar.
If the door is locked, the mare opens the door handle and pulls the door.
If the door is only ajar, then the door simply pulls to touch the door handle.
She repeats this process several times without making any mistakes.
I find this fascinating and can hardly believe it.
So are horses even more cognitively advanced than dogs?

horses are cursed and as such extremely good observers. if they are motivated, they learn extremely fast – 1 to 3 repeats enough when the horse is 100% involved.
Horses are extraordinarily, although they are cursed, very curious, they are hypersocial and – they can use their lips much more skillful and finer than elephant their armchairs.
if a horse has the appropriate thing to do, somewhat intelligence, and a high need to run self-entertainment for a long time… then the owner has a serious problem.
Oh yes… of course, the horse is only rewarded if it’s what you taught him to do on command and you don’t reward them if they offer the lection of yourself. is the question, however, of how great the need for maintenance of the horse in his free time is.
we have a smaller ponystute in the stall, which can open 7 out of 9 lock systems for boxes. splint, spring bar, hook, tile system – no problem.
some other horses are secured with chain-cabin-combis, because one of them knows how to get up. that only stops when the chain is not too. the others could learn from him and one of the horses is definitely going to pencil when it could run out. for such experiments the stall is decided too close to the autobahn.
the special strength of the horse is its hypersociality and the ability to use its lips like a watchmaking plier, but also like a power handle.
if you give a medicament in the form of a powder on the heel, at any rate the heel behind is gone and there is a nasty powder in the crib.
how well horses can really be cognitive is not researched and that is probably not possible. Horses respond to the finest nuances of the body language – one of the horses with us I can send with lifting the head by half a centimeter two steps backwards, another I will teach it. If you think that the horse wants to have in one direction, you want to avoid running past you, you have to want to want to. because then you make instinctive the right movements in the body language. If you use words, you have to learn to translate the words into the body language, because it serves the horse as a link. with the hands, however, a horse does not understand.
many thanks for the star
No horses can’t be more than dogs.
Horses are horses, some develop a true art while breaking out. Motivation is everything. Otherwise, the Elche can be as good as getting out everywhere. Cows can do that, by the way.
Most horses are getting outbreakers because they have boredom. There are not a few horses that can hang out electric fences, push up gates, etc. Everything’s not a witchcraft.
Whether that’s happy to teach his animal this is always a thing for itself. It’s bad enough to have an autodidact in the stable. Since these horses pose a danger to themselves and other horses.
The horses that make themselves free have already walked onto the street or have not only spoiled the margin in the feed chamber.
The horse is very famous and is called Al Dahma. This horse loves his rider.
The horse only opened the door when the rider told him that.
The horse did not do this without the instruction from the rider.
There are many videos as this horse follows his riders without leash and plays with him.
Only as the rider talks to this horse shows how the two love each other.
It shows how many envious are when they see that an Arab horse holder is so good with his animals.
You often explain us to inhumans!
Apropo he’s not an autodict!
He is the most famous Arab horse breeder and has more than 900,000Abo.
And he trained as a vet to treat lean neglected horses!
You cannot explain to us Arab people to inhumans.
I have not lost a word about the horse’s trainer.
That’s it.
he spoke of horses as autodidacts…
by the way, autodidakt is not insult.
I’m sorry, I understood it differently
If somebody’s got 900 000 subscriptions, they don’t say anything.
It was related to horses that teach themselves some things themselves.
They called him an autodidact. “Person who acquires their knowledge in self-study”
He has a training as a horse doctor and he is very famous around the 900,000 Tsd Abo!
And he tame horses without any violence with much patience.
He’s got Apropo more than 100 full-blooded animals in the stable and has a training as a vet!
How arrogantly simple.
Most of the horses come when they have a lot of boredom. Especially successful are those who play around with their mouth and teeth on everything.
Mine is so one: must always chew around on everything when it is connected. He tightens every knot by biting it in the knit and then nipping it in a jerk. Thus the knit becomes longer and longer 🙄 That’s why he has a tie chain. I’ve got to keep everything close, otherwise it’s got to be categorized: halters and knits from other horses, blankets, just everything you put on the tie bar.
If I don’t care, he’s also fishing on the rope. But I’ve spoiled him with a lot of strenge and antibite.
If he was living in a box, he would open it within a few hours. They become more and more skillful with time!
But to answer your question:
No, I don’t think he’s particularly intelligent. Playfulness is the problem, I think! And stress reduction. And I don’t think the horses do this on command, but just if you give you the opportunity. Just when you film them and talk to them, they become curious. Some will be insecure. You provoke stress.
Go to the couplings of your horse and say it, but don’t go. The horse will probably also remain impatient, run back and forth, or hit with the head. Just because it waits for what you’re doing and redirects this impatience in a so-called jumping action. You can googlen. Do people, too.
If you also affirm these actions positively, so rewarded, you have no piece of art, but an impeccable.
one often tells me: the thought is to be left to the horses that have the bigger heads
I see it like circus or zoo animals. Action on click, much is show because it is not visible how much the horse recognizes and what actually the trainer initiates.
Animal trainers for film and television work like this. The animal appears to act independently, in reality the animal only performs commands.
That’s what I see here too, otherwise the horse would always run around in the plant. Horses are herd animals and predominantly instinct controlled.
