If you spend sufficient time around a horse, you’ll realize that they’re extremely stupid animals. Trust me, they never thought about it this much.
Horses must think we’re mocking them when we use them to carry us around, then put them in trailers that carry them faster than they can run.

They’re not always the smartest in a pinch, but I’ve personally dealt with horses clever enough to repeatedly open latched gates, figure out how to slide barn doors off of their track, and in one case, steal and attempt to hide the pool noodle another horse had been using to smack him all day.
That’s to say nothing for emotional intelligence.
Prey animals don’t have time to stop and think in a panic, but give them time and space to be bored and they figure stuff out.

I beg to differ. Last year I happened across a horse wearing a top hat. Looked pretty smart to me.

Not smart enough to realize that those went out of style a hundred years ago.

Oh no… You meant the very rare landlord horse…
You didn’t see the monocle, because it must’ve been on the other side…
