Description
During a visit to a stable out in our county, I saw this horse staring with longing at the pasture as if picturing the frolicking and grazing that could be done out there. I knew he was aware of me, but it did not matter, he was lost in watching through the fog that area he knew he would be let loose in at some point soon when his master came back. After this image was taken, I walked up to say hello and he was happy to see me and visit with me but it wasn't long before he returned his thoughts to the hope of the freedom to romp soon.
A 2010 study revealed some very surprising results about horse intelligence, especially memory. Not only does our equine friend understand our words far better than we have previously anticipated, its memory is at least as good as that of an elephant. If a horse is treated kindly, it will remember the person as a friend for as long as it lives. The horse will instantly resume friendship when it sees them again, regardless of how long they have been apart. They also remember places very well most horses become nervous when they're taken to a place where they've had a startling experience. The good memory and relatively powerful intellect of horses is not always a good thing, though. If they get bored, they can accidentally figure out how to untie themselves from posts and open latches and grain bins. Once they learn these methods of mischief, they'll never, ever forget.

Beautiful work of art, Sandi! Such a sensitive capture of this handsome animal......From this image, I can just imagine, so clearly, how he anticipates the time when he will be free to run in the paddocks beyond! L/F
