[Paladin2]

Horses are apparently fairly unintelligent and dogs love to harass moving beings.

I've learned to drag my dog well off the trail when near the presence of horses on parkland trails that allow horses.

Horses are not at all unintelligent. Especially not racehorses--Thoroughbreds are very smart. But they are prey animals and they have a different visual system than humans and canids do. As a result, we often don't understand their reactions and tend to ascribe them to stupidity rather than prudence.
