[RC] horses smart? - Stephanie_D_Adair<<slightly hysterical, one never seemed to learn from his experiences...he was doomed to repeat the same mistakes, over and over.>> Not to bring up this subject again, but since my post last year regarding what my farrier told me about whorls, I've become a complete believer. The horses I've seen exhibit the above behavior, had at least one whorl/swirl halfway down their neck, rather than directly behind the ears. It's like they have to be worked with constantly and don't easily retain the lessons they learn, like they just "don't get it", therefore making them very reactive to the world, IMHO The word I would best use to sum it up would be, well, a Squirrel. Steph, blessed with Doc - a swirl right behind each ear, a thinker, stable, and a gentle nature rarely needing to be reminded about anything. Nothing squirrely about me! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
