Did you know...?
Did you know that horses may have a seemingly irrational fear of some smells, such as strong odors associated with pigs? The horse's range of smell is more acute than that of humans but less sensitive than that of dogs. They can identify the medicine in feed even when we attempt to mask it in tasty treats.
