      I know an interesting story about a horse. He was called Clever Hans and he lived about 100 years ago. People thought he was a genius horse because he seemed to be able to do maths and spelling by stomping his hooves in response to questions. However, it turned out that he wasn’t a genius, he was just following subconscious cues from his master. For example, Clever Hans couldn’t do his sums when his master wasn’t in the room.

      What do you like best about horses?
