| Loved this chapter! Although, all the way through I had 'Horse with No Name' by America stuck in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na47wMFfQCo Btw I don't object at all to you reading 'More than Meets the Eye' and 'borrowing' ideas/concepts. We could establish a mini 'Bandobras head canon' Author Reply: Sweet. (Want to hear something funny? That song was stuck in my head most of the time I was writing this chapter, and for a long time afterwards! I had to put on a playlist of other songs to drive it out of my head at last.) | |

| What absolutely darling conversations between Bandobras and this delightfully intelligent horse. Author Reply: Thank you! I hope he doesn't sound unbelievably intelligent. It's just that I have the feeling that Wanderer is in the habit of holding long conversations with his horse as they're travelling. I read recently that the average dog can learn 165 words, including signals, and "superdogs" (in the top 20% of dog intelligence) can learn 250 words (https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2009/08/dogs-think). Someone on Quora thought horses could learn about 200 words. I've included that link plus two other interesting articles about horse intelligence below, in case anyone else is interested: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna35911274 https://equusmagazine.com/news/horses-understand-human-gestures https://www.quora.com/How-many-words-can-a-horse-understand | |
