I feel like gaited breed horses are smarter than non-gaited. but I also know my smartest horse is my most dangerous and my dumbest horse the sweetest. Of my icelandics Teev is smartest but has a mean streak, can be actually humorously devious, and nasi is smarter than some of my others but he holds his cards very close. So many factors to consider about what is "smart". My smartest dog is also my main troublemaker. She came to ask me to let her out last nite and when she looked into my eyes it was eery, so human in intelligence, like one of those morphed photos you see on the internet where they put a humans eyes in a dogs face. She is my husbands dog and he talks to her all the time like she is human, and all the time I hear him saying "no treat for you you bad girl you tricked me!" haha Janice-- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
