David That just shows how intelligent horses can be for when I was young and worked down a coalmine, I did work for some time with these small ponies and at the end of shift me and my mates would somtimes ride the things back to the stables for we were 5 miles out under the North Sea.
These clever little horses when we were layed out on their back to clear the roof which was low would look for a place where we were going from straight roof girders to arched ones, they would then run you right into the corner where you would slide over the horses ass and be face down in the dust listening to the harness chains rattle as he ran off and left you to walk. Well you can imagine the choice words and it was not woo boy!!!
