I think it’s referencing Clever Hans, a horse who allegedly could do arithmetic and would respond to questions by tapping his hoof (Clever Hans famously could not actually do math - he had just learned to tap his foot until his trainer looked happy with the number of taps).
I had heard of Clever Hans before, but never knew the trainer himself wasn’t actually aware he was giving cues to the house. The horse was actually really smart, just not in the way people imagined.

I think that’s it. Also, teacher horse is upset that they’re all giving the wrong answer.
