  Title EQUINE SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE Type Journal Article
  Year Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract 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....

  Title Horse – Perception – Vision Type Book Chapter
  Year Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  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.
