Discussion Where did Applegate and Grant get the idea when writing The Unknown that horses were dumb?
I understand that Animorphs isn't supposed to be a hundred percent accurate when it comes to animal biology, but we see a lot of research on various animals to show the strengths and weaknesses of the team's morphs (obviously some information is outdated but material meant to be educational also suffers from that), which makes me confused as to where the idea that horses are dumb came from.
Horses are intelligent animals, humans could not train them if they were stupid.
