INTRODUCTION to the social intelligence tests
This document contains the result of adjusting 12 tests written for dogs to the sensory modes and size
of horses. Stanley Coren calls the tests “Canine IQ Tests,” but also says the tests are probably
measurements of “social intelligence.” Coren's book also contains the list of dog breeds ranked by
score on these tests. The technical, psychological definition of “intelligence” is not relevant to these
tests (the usual academic caveats about data and variables). Also, an animal that is very clever and is
not interested in interacting with humans will score low on these tests, so if your horse is a low scorer,
it may mean that people just are not interesting for him.
I am posting the tests because 1) my riding club thought they were fun when I showed them the video
record of the testing protocol and 2) the several horses tested thought they were fun. Of these horses,
my two (a German sport horse and a Morgan) became more alert in responding to their human
companion (me) after the tests were run.... |

Abstract |
Horses have been described as being among the
most perceptive of animals.1 By studying the
sensory perception of horses, we gain valuable
insights into their behavior. The differences
between human and equine perceptions of the
external environment can be explained by the
differences in their sensory structures. The horses
adept perception has allowed it to be constantly
aware of changes occurring in its surroundings
and has played a pivotal role in the success of this
species. An appreciation and understanding of
the horses well-developed sensory system are
valuable tools, particularly when attempting to
understand distinctive aspects of equine behavior. |
