Horses are intelligent.

Horses are intelligent. In fact, they’re among the most intelligent animals on earth. They can recognize themselves in mirrors and know when they’re being treated differently than their friends or other horses. Their memory is flexible enough to recall specific locations of food and how to find it in new environments; horses also learn tricks and routines with ease. Horses can understand some human language, especially if there are consistent verbal cues associated with certain actions (such as “come” or “stay”). Horse intelligence is so advanced that many people believe they could be trained to obey commands given by humans before even being domesticated!

Humans have been working with horses for thousands of years, but we don’t always understand what’s going on inside their minds—that’s why it’s important for us to make sure our interactions with them are positive ones!

Horses have a sort of sixth sense about them.

Horses have a sort of sixth sense about them. They can sense danger, when a storm is coming, when they are being watched and even when someone is lying to them! Even more interestingly, if you treat your horse unfairly or in an untrustworthy manner he will soon show signs of distrusting you. And if you’ve ever owned a horse long enough then chances are that this has happened at one point or another.

Horses are prey animals, which mean they’re naturally cautious and herd-oriented.

Horses are prey animals, which means they’re naturally cautious and herd-oriented. They have been domesticated for centuries and can live in close proximity to humans, but they still retain a high level of survival instinct.

While horses aren’t as timid as deer or elk, they can be skittish around new people or unfamiliar situations. They often respond by running away from the source of fear until it disappears or by hiding behind other horses so that predators cannot see them easily.

Horses were originally built for speed and stamina; this is why human riders must train their horses before attempting long rides without rest periods every few miles (or kilometers).

Horses have distinct personalities.

Horses have distinct personalities. Some are bold and adventurous, while others are shy and reserved. Horses have a range of emotions and personalities just like people. Just as you wouldn’t expect all humans to be the same, you shouldn’t assume that all horses will act the same way either. Just because one horse is friendly doesn’t mean its entire species will feel the same way about you!

Also, each horse has its own unique qualities that make it different from another animal in your herd or pasture. This can include physical characteristics (such as color) or personality traits (such as whether they’re more social than others). Every one of these animals is an individual just like any other person on earth!

Horses respond well to touch.

• Horse massage: A blind person who rides a horse can feel the horse’s muscles through their own legs. The rider feels how much the horse is tensing up, or relaxing.
• Horse grooming: Grooming is often done in ways that mimic social grooming among primates. Horses will groom each other to learn about each other’s moods and comfort levels, just like humans do with friends and family members.
• Horse-riding: The way you mount your horse is also very similar to how humans interact with each other when they greet one another—you get down on your hands and knees, holding onto the back of its neck until it stands upright on both feet (like a human would do if they wanted to hug someone). Then you stand up next to it in order for both of you to be at eye level with each other. This process mimics human greeting rituals where people go out of their way not only physically but verbally as well too—they might say things like “Hello!” or “How are you?” while approaching someone else; whereas horses use body language rather than words during this ritual (but we’ll get more into that later).

Horses are built for speed and stamina due to the need to run away from predators.

You may have heard that horses are built to run, and it’s true. Horses can gallop up to 40 miles per hour (65 kilometers per hour) and can run for long distances, sometimes for hours or even days at a time. It turns out this is because of the need to escape predators.

Horses have big, strong legs with elastic tendons and ligaments that allow them to store energy when they sprint forward, then release that energy as they stretch their legs back in front of them while running away from danger.

They also have small hooves designed more like paddles than shoes—perfectly suited for soft ground but not so much on hard surfaces like pavement or concrete where they don’t grip well with each step taken forward due to their lack of traction points underfoot (there’s not enough room between each toe). These characteristics make it difficult for horses traveling through water without slowing down considerably first before entering into deeper waters; however if humans were built similarly we might find ourselves drowning after only taking one step on top of an ice floe!

Horses can feel fear, happiness, sadness, and more!

Horses are sensitive creatures and can feel all the same emotions as humans. They experience fear, happiness, sadness, anger and excitement just like us.

Horses can be afraid of new things or situations they aren’t used to. Sometimes they become threatened by these unfamiliar objects or situations which causes them to run away from the threat. For example: a horse may be afraid of a dog because it represents something he does not recognize or understand so he runs away from it in fear of being attacked by it. Or perhaps you have heard stories about horses running into traffic because they were scared by an unfamiliar noise such as an approaching car engine? This happens because horses do not know what a car is yet (because we don’t live in cars) so when they hear one coming they get scared and run away from it—without thinking twice! The good news is that most horses learn how to accept new things once their trainers teach them what these strange objects or situations mean through positive reinforcement techniques such as feeding treats while walking past dogs at home; allowing visitors into your house who may bring with them pets such as cats etcetera…

We can learn a lot from horses!
