Your picture looks like a cow to me?!?

I have never heard a horse being referred to as dumb. When I did a google search I found very little info about horses being dumb. Horses are actually very smart. They can be trained to jump obstacles and compete in races. They learn commands. Horses can also learn their name and many can do tricks.

Mr. Peach:

Were those "horses" making "moo'ing" sounds?

I think that you've been spending a little bit too much time inside the office my man :)

What? I've never known of anyone who referred to horses as "dumb". Where did you get that from?

Horses are extremely intelligent animals and they're also very, very loving and loyal.

Horses let us ride them because it benefits everyone - they get food and shelter and we get to travel for free.

Everyone's a winner ;)

By whom are they considered to be dumb?

I grew up with horses, and there were no dumb horses... only dumb riders and dumb trainers.

Oh, you mean the generic "dumb" that's always pegged in front of the word "animimal" by some people, where everything non-human is a "dumb animal"?
