Do horses know they are winning?
I'm currently curious whether horses have a mind like humans, or something similar, when we win, and whether horses also understand that in tournaments. Does anyone know?
Hello, my gelding has an incredibly long, thick mane. Unfortunately, I don't like a long mane; I prefer a sporty mane. He also goes through the electric fence with his long mane. I'm grateful for any tips 🙂
Hello, I recently got a horse that I share. Unfortunately, it's always going through the neck and always has its head up. How can I change this?
Does anyone have experience with Südwind riding boots?
sit more relaxed in the pad?
Heyy, I know it's quite difficult to judge something like this, so I'll try to explain/describe the situation as best as I can: We have a new mare, 13 years old, 1.66 m tall, Rhinelander, quite light-feeding (that's what the previous owner told us), and she gets about an hour of exercise every day (of…
Hello, I want to buy a mare. It seems they're going to include a clause in the purchase agreement stating that they want visitation rights. Is that generally legal? If I were to sign it, could I still say afterward that I don't want any visits? Since it's immoral, they've assigned all rights, including the…
With tournaments in no way, there is everything very abstract… in racing (horse against horse in direct end fight) this is quite different.
No, they do not know such “comparisons”. But, of course, they also race in nature around the bet, present themselves as in a dressage task, and the traces of course also that their rider is silent on them when they do their thing well. But a consciousness of having made it “better than others” is strange to them.
edith:
during the joint galloping (Jagden, Race…) the horse is not about having “worn” the honour, but about the playful exercise of the escape possibilities. For in serious cases it is called “The latter bite the dogs”, or eat the wolves.
They don’t understand that they won, but they realize the joy of their rider and all the other people, which they are automatically happy. They feel the euphoria and gratitude, even if they don’t understand why, why we are happy now.
Euphoria yes, “thank you” is not existent here for a horse.
Where? How should a horse know what “gain” is? And that it is on a tournament in competition with other horses/reiters? When running, it’s something else, they do that on the pasture or in freedom to accumulate each other, to overtake – but that with the human being, it’s about “wondering”, no horse knows. The emotions of man and also habit play a great role. Clearly, a racehorse eventually checks that it will do better if it runs fast or faster than the others. But that it’s about “wintering”, he’s probably not aware.
while they already remember when they were good, so our horses also sat down when they realize that they went well.
The dressage promotes the imposing behaviour of the horses, and also the looseness. If both are given, the horse naturally feels comfortable; but beyond an awareness of being “better than the other participants”.
Yes, but I notice that they are already snucking off satisfactorily when they realize that they have put a good performance.
But not because they want to win. How are they supposed to know what this is? They naturally perceive moods and there are not just a few horses, the joy of presenting themselves, which certainly comes from the sense of the rider’s mood. The quarterie, for example, often forgets that he actually comes from a cool and nerve-strong race – but before spectators this horse shows absolute presence and flies only under the rider. No one who sees it can believe what he has often performed or performed for Sparenzle.
So with Günther and with Dati, you can see that they present themselves correctly in the square on the exam. Günther builds on even more than aif the Areitplatz
It naturally senses our emotions and notices whether we are proud of the horse. If we are happy about the horse, it is so proud to please us.
Nope, the brains aren’t that human. They look forward to praise and feel our joy and enthusiasm, but also not.
Do not win vl, but you notice when they were successful.
‘success’ in the sense of praise and attention.
But they also know when they were good
