This study was conducted to determine if horses could successfully remember where to find food after a delay in seeing and hearing where the food was initially placed. Twelve horses were tested individually in an arena. At the beginning of the test, the horses were maintained immobile in the arena where they could see and hear the food being delivered in one of two positions in the arena. The horse’s ability to find the food was tested immediately after the food was delivered and after a delay of 10 seconds after the food was delivered. Each test was repeated 40 times initially and repeated 40 times three months later. The results indicated that horses were successful in the immediate release tests, but not in the 10 second delayed release tests. The authors concluded that horses may not have a prospective type of memory and therefore limitations in recall abilities. These results are important to consider for the welfare of horses and during training, such as problems in overestimating their mental abilities and the effects of delaying reinforcements.
