Horses have joined a select group of animals that can communicate by pointing at symbols.
Scientists trained horses, by offering slices of carrot as an incentive, to touch a board with their muzzle to indicate if they wanted to wear a rug.
The horses' requests matched the weather, suggesting it wasn't a random choice.
A few other animals, including apes and dolphins, appear, like us, to express preferences by pointing at things.
Dr Cecilie Mejdell of the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, who led the research, said they wanted to find a way to ask the horse whether or not it liked wearing a blanket.
In Nordic countries, it is common for horses to wear a blanket in all weathers.
"I think our study adds to the knowledge on horse cognition - about what horses are able to learn and how they think," she told BBC News.
"Horses are often considered to be not very intelligent but this shows that using the right methods they can actually communicate and express their opinions and they can take choices that seem sensible to us even."

Wasn't this exact thing discredited decades ago?
Swedish scientists are often considered to be not very intelligent.

>>28495256
The Norwegian Veterinary Institute is not in Sweden.
Stop confusing the rest of the thread.

Modern animal cognition studies control for the Clever Hans Effect. Or at least they're supposed to.

I think a lot of animals are probably more intelligent than we usually give them credit for.

Horses have pretty big cocks that come in several colors, including black, so horse news is well within their mandate.
