(Read this blog, please. Horses and dogs are truly useful, but that video inside is safe for work.) These links inside are handy, even if one of them is a dead end.

I'm not sure if you can reply to a reply in a post so if you weren't notified, thanks for the advice! I'll certainly use that

EDIT: This was meant to be a private reply, but I’m gonna leave it here. It was in response to comments on this post.

Here we go, found it! A racing horse was the subject of the very first recorded video ever! There was curiosity (and arguments) about how exactly their legs move during gallops, which is different from canters and other forms of walking & running they do, so actually being able to see it in motion settled the debate.

Horses are fairly unique in their relationship to humans, being a major part of civilization in a manner not unlike that of dogs, so it’s honestly very surprising we don’t have more media where they are important to the story. Like dogs, they’re very good at communicating with (and understanding) the body language of humans; the pack social structure of most canines is simply a closer match to our own hierarchy compared to a herd’s.

I’ve actually been a “brony” since I was a child in the 80′s, because I watched the ever-loving heck outta the original fantasy-based MLP content, so I was giddy with glee when they managed to bring Tirek back for Season 4′s finale. But the new series has also compelled me into doing research on the actual animals themselves and there’s so much to learn. It’s even more amazing when you realize that the writers and animators alike on the show picked up that same knowledge themselves!

Like, did you know a horse’s lips are considered prehensile? Yes, really. They CAN not only pick things up, they can easily move them around and manipulate them with just their mouth, and the tongue can help even more. A horse could totally write with a pen or pencil in their mouth, as Applebloom and some other characters do, if they had the intelligence to do it. That wasn’t just something “cute” by the writers to avoid using hooves. And speaking of which:

(the above post has links to three other seperate posts of mine with some other facts and discussion about horses and how ponies in MLP actually could manipulate objects with their hooves; they don’t work the way most people think they do!)

Hope this info helps!
