Saturday Links from Tipperary

I still smirk whenever a non-horse person foolishly declares that a horse is not as intelligent as other domesticated animals. Certainly, horse intelligence is a different sort of intelligence from a dog or cat, but there’s no way you can convince me that the dog who I consistently trick with the fake-out-throw is anywhere as bright as the devilish pony who knows how to shimmy under the fence if the hay-cart is even two minutes late. I think that’s what makes this picture of Share Option so amusing. You can almost see the wheels turning in his head as to what strange adventure is afoot.
