Horses are good friends with people. But do horses really understand people's feelings? Scientists try to find out the answer, and they find something interesting—horses can feel when people are happy or sad.
The scientists did a research project. They brought 28 horses into a room, one by one. Then they showed each horse a picture of a happy face or a sad face of humans (人类). At the same time, they played a happy or sad voice. When the horse heard a sad voice and looked at a happy face, it looked at the picture for a longer time. The horse noticed something unusual.
Horses also prefer to be with happy people. They spent more time looking at the picture of a happy face. When they heard a happy voice, they seemed more animated, waving their tails happily. Another study also shows that seeing a happy face could make a horse feel happier.
Although horses may not understand what sadness or happiness is, they know feelings mean a lot to humans.
