Just as an interesting (possibly) aside; in the science world, horses are rated as less intelligent than rats, and they actually have a very small brain for their size. Indeed you can shoot a horse in the head and have a good chance of missing its brain totally. Not that I condone it . I thought it was an odd thing to learn too, but if you think about it, rats are inquisitive, and can be taught to solve puzzles etc, whereas horses just stand in a field (with very small fences even!) and eat grass.
