Tool-Using Horses – Why Tool Use Should Change How We See Horses
Horses using tools? Yes – and it’s groundbreaking. In this episode, Kate Farmer joins us, co-author of the study on tool use in horses conducted with Prof. Konstanze Krüger. What does it mean when horses deliberately use objects to achieve goals? What cognitive abilities are required – and how does this reshape our understanding of horses? Celina Skogan speaks with Kate Farmer about research, training, ethics – and why it’s time to rethink what we believe we know.
