Lighthoof Video: Horses & Tools

If anyone tries to tell you that horses aren’t hardwired to know how to use tools, just show them this video.

Really, we can’t say it much better than the original video poster and her caption. To wit:

“Science people: Primates and Corvids are the only animals who use tools.

Matt, a horse:”

Who else has ever had a horse who has learned how to use “tools”? I can’t say that I’ve ever owned one quite this smart — I seem to be attracted more to the “brute force” types who figure if they can’t just abjectly destroy something, it’s not worth their time. Alas.

Go riding!
