    So why are we paying CEOs millions if we could just get a couple of these guys and pay them in hay and some outdoor time instead?

      Are you insane??? That’s how you end up with horse CEOs with all the power, AND they know how to plan and stratagize??? Just look at Twitter/X, and tell me there’s any stratagy going on. No planning. No intelligence.

      And now you want to give horses the power, AND they can kick us in the head? And they have penis’s that are bigger???

      This is an insane plan! Clearly not thought of by a horse. A horse would know how to stratagize better.

        As long as they walk on four legs we can tell them apart from the humans. Sounds like we should make some rules about animals not standing on two legs.

          “Four legs good, two legs bad”, I like the ring of that. Definitely wouldn’t set us up for issues down the line.

    I don’t know, I work with horses a lot, and have for many years. This isn’t surprising at all. They are intelligent. Like humans, they have a variety of intelligence, a spectrum. I think that any human that has spent time with them, and has the ability to reflect, knows this. That’s why they challenge us and also why they can be such great resources.

    I attached an image of riding (I think)

      Agree, horses can be very intelligent. Good cowhorses are prized for the way they think and if they can outsmart cows, along with their athletic ability, so this doesn’t surprise me at all either. I also think horses have a sense of humor and like little pranks.

    I welcome our new horse overlords and will work as a slave in the sugar fields and apple orchards without complaint.

        Do you think when the horses invent cars they can drive, they’ll measure their engines in terms of manpower?

    Do the horses that work in the Medieval Times entertainment center/restaurants think they are actually in the medieval time period?

      Human medieval times? No, don’t be silly.

      Horse medieval times? Now, that’s another thing. Irrespective of whether they work or not, the horses I’ve spoken to are generally convinced they have entered the renaissance.
