I have a dilemma. There's a vinyard/foal factory ten minutes from me that does this big tour where they drink all the wine they make and then check out the best mares.

why
>The installation, titled Šemík Happy End, has quickly attracted attention from both residents and visitors.
>Created by sculptor Jakub Flejšar, the eight-hundred-kilogram installation reimagines the story of Šemík, the legendary horse that saved his master Horymír by jumping from Vyšehrad into the Vltava River, only to later succumb to his injuries. Flejšar said his goal was to offer an alternative, more optimistic ending for the horse, symbolizing courage, hope, and new beginnings.
>“Art is meant to make us pause from our routine and evoke emotions, whether delight, surprise, or even annoyance,” Flejšar told Novinky.cz. “I am satisfied that the sculpture is engaging people and sparking discussion.”

Spent a few minutes looking it up, but there doesn't seem to be a conclusive answer. Best I could find was "Horses raise their tails when they're about to shit, giving you a clear view of their ass."

A fun titbit I found whilst searching was that, supposedly, the reason the standard-gauge railway is 1435 mm / 4 ft 8½ in is because that was roughly the width needed for a roman chariot to accommodate the rear ends of two horses

Recent work has shown that they are capable of linguistic thought and not only can associate a word with a state like having blanket on or off, that they can project a command to humans based on their expectations of a future state. On days that are hot they can ask for blankets to be removed and blankets to be put on when its cold

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168159116302192

and more controversially, mostly because they have no real manipulator digits they pass the mirror test

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33713273/

With the latest stuff being published in cognitive neuroscience horses are proving to be one of the smartest animals pretty much up there with dogs. They can learn from watching other horses horses for example and studies of wild horses are showing cultural transmission of herd behavior around stallion behavior. Its honestly not surprising because if you pull out a horse brain and look at it, a horse brain looks like a carnivorous mammal. Their encephalization quotient is point 0.9 which places them near dogs in size to body ratio and horses just have incredibly dense neocortex and prefrontal cortex along with well developed hippocampus and limbic systems unlike most other hooved animals, or other animals in general. Going by their brain anatomy and what I have seen in papers on behavior I'd say they are honestly only dumber than elephants/gorillas/ smartest cetaceans and are around dogs and parrots in mental ability -that is about as smart as a human child before language acquisition. They are close to a 2 -3 yo human and essentially eternal toddlers.

Neat, I always knew their intelligence was underestimated. They do poorly in maze tests, but that made perfect sense to me.

Cows may like to squeeze into the underbrush and hang out in there, but horses get nervous going someplace where they can't see very far, and no horse likes to be the first one to do a thing. (They are NOT a "hold my beer" species, more of a "I'm not trying that, you first" species) Mazes are not gonna be their thing, and anxiety hinders learning.

Doubt. It's pretty normal for parents to feel proud of their kids and want them to succeed, and transferring those feelings onto a horse is not unusual. If the horse is that good at the competition, she most likely loves doing it.

It's just part of the regular 4H pipeline. I remember part of the judging score I got for calves I was showing was how much they brought at the 4H auction. The system is designed to introduce young people to the economic reality of farming, they're not house pets. And even if they were house pets, if you have your dog bred, most people will sell all of N-1 of the puppies instead of just keeping them all.

Probably is. Horses only go into deep REM sleep where they need to lie down for about 2 hours a day and can nap on the feet for the less important sleep. If you a horse is sleeping out the ordinary amount while lying the other horses will try to keep it on its feet so stomach issues don’t get worse/ it isn’t as easy for a predator to catch. The herd basically bullies a sick horse for its own good. If a horse sees you a person that doesn’t normally sleep that often in the fields sleeping in the field it probably is concerned and trying to keep you from dying

They don't. Horse is an ancient animal from prehistory so animal husbandry gets caught in the ruts sometimes. Frankly the obsessive and enthusiasts have been making traction and getting more positive results so it's not a long way off with the rest of them. It's just the old guard that really got jaded and really hate horses that keep it going.

The horse should not be treated with brutality, for this is the way to spoil him.”
“Anything forced and misunderstood can never be beautiful

-Xenophon Ancient Greece

The horse must be treated with care, for his spirit is easily broken and not easily restored

Columena - Ancient Rome

The best doctor for a horse is the one who loves him - ancient Roman proverb recorded by vegetius

The ancient west believed they were semi sentient and has psyches like people. The recorded writings suggest there was a cultureal expectation to treat them with more care than human slaves

wtf
how do they now the horse is at its limit?
a normal running horse can stop whenever they can't go anymore or at least slow down but in this absolute torture device the horse would stumble and probably break a leg (death sentence) or its neck by falling down and over those bars in front of it while that thing keeps going.
>>
>>5079034
Because most asshole brainlet humans can simply get away with it compared to lions who'd just rip the human's head off in return. Hitting the horse is the easiest way for them.
There are many ways to train horses that are 100% without violence but that takes time, lots of patience and a true feel for horses. Things most people lack nowadays.

IIRC, it was based on a true practicioner of the spectacle, and a big plot point was that the diving made her go blind, but she trusted the horses enough to keep abusing them into doing the stunt.

Scariest thing I’ve ever done is get trapped in a stall with a mare that decided she needed to kill me for the crime of curry-combing the wet snow off her back.

She broke 8 of the 2x6 planks that made up the lower half of the stall while trying to kick me, but I stayed ahead of her hip and close enough she couldn’t pivot past me and she gave up or murder after about 30 seconds, giving me enough time to climb out to top of the stall. My “helper” had shut the stall door because her horse was trying to go into that stall instead of its own stall, and the way she never accepted responsibility for her part of my near death experience was a factor in the breakup.

Does anyone know the story behind this video? Like what happened to the horse for it to lose it and attack the guy? Sure we can make guesses like "oh he dude abused the horse" but that doesn't tell nearly enough. Is the guy being attacked the owner of the horse? Did the horse break out of the pasture or is this filmed from its pasture? Is the horse a mare/gelding/stallion? What breed? Who is the other guy that comes to the rescue of the guy being attacked? Was the horse known for behaviour problems prior to this? What injuries did the attacked guy sustain from this event (yeah I can see he runs off but that could just be adrenaline). And why is the video named DIomedes? Is it the name of the horse or the place this incident took place or the guy getting attacked? I have so many questions.

Well, I can answer some of those questions.
After some reverse image searching, I found these from November 2021

https://tn.com.ar/increible/2021/11/27/un-caballo-ataco-a-su-jinete-y-causo-preocupacion/
https://www.lavanguardia.com/natural/20211130/7899472/video-viral-ataque-caballo-jinete.html

which say that it's a viral video of a horse attacking its rider at a training centre in Argentina, but no reason is given, merely speculation of animal abuse.

As for Diomedes, it comes from the Mares of Diomedes, which were four mythological man-eating mares owned by Diomedes of Thrace. One of Heracles' twelve labours was to go and steal them from him.

I love horses and hate abusing animals, but I'm curious what people against it would argue. Same with the horse diving being "abuse." Is a horse diving a few times a day more abusive than having them pull a wagon, or run fast?
I went to >reddit and it sounds like the change was made to balance minor injuries. A balance between allowing the horse to have minor scrapes or injuries caused on its own, vs abusive rough bit and spur usage. Trying to reduce eliminations from a horse clipping itself while punishing people who injure the horse.

Then the next comment blames Trump lol.

I have no idea. Maybe it's abuse, or maybe it's just that Karens think anything that's not "normal" must be abuse.
