Read More »Do Horses Understand Horse Racing? Have you ever watched a racehorse after winning a big race? With a crowd crushing in amid the flash of cameras, the horse seems just as jubilantly victorious as the jockey. But have you ever wondered, do horses understand horse racing? Keep reading for the answer and more details on the motivation and cognition of horses. Horse Psychology The simple answer to whether or not horses understand horse racing is that while racehorses want to win races and do subjectively enjoy winning them, they do not understand the greater significance of horse racing to the extent that humans do. This is because horses’ brains are very different from those of humans. Horses operate within a harem-based social structure and are chiefly concerned with survival and reproduction. Thus the motivations of horses and their understanding of concepts like dominance and defeat are unlikely to include the desire to win a race chiefly for the glory of victory. Natural Competitiveness Although horses do not understand concepts like winning and dominance in the abstract manner that humans do, there are times when both wild and domesticated horses naturally display competitiveness and achieve advantages over other horses. For wild horses, these times can include running from a predator or a charging dominant male. Another example is sparring between a harem male and a bachelor male for mating rights over a female. After a sparring match, the victorious male will proudly march off with his rightful mate, while the loser will slink away alone. Domesticated horses also engage in competition during their daily lives. Certain horses push others aside to gain a prime position at the feeding trough. And when a group of horses is first released into a pasture together, they will all naturally run as fast as possible, attempting to reach the front of the pack. Overall, horses naturally compete with each other in a variety of situations. However, their motivations are usually driven by the desire to gain an advantage regarding obtaining food or procreating. Therefore, though a racehorse will likely enjoy winning, it will not understand the horse race in the manner humans do. Further, it will certainly not derive pleasure from the pure joy of winning a race. Instead, the horse will probably view it as simply another occasion to achieve an advantage over its fellow horses, gaining better access to food or mates.

On the other hand, if you weren't that close they will likely have no emotional response to being sold. If they do appear sad, it's only time before they get comfortable in their new home and let go of those feelings.
Sometimes, life presents a situation where you have to sell your horse. It may be a sad event for you, but does your horse feel the same? They may have developed a close bond with you and the other horses at your barn. Saying goodbye can be hard.
