Can horses do math

There is heaps of maths in horse riding.

For example in show jumping you use Pythagoras theorem to find the most effective take off point. To do this the angle must be 45 degrees, and the distance of take off should be the height of the fence. If you get what i mean.

In sporting you can do things like distance between posts, the degrees the horse bends to get around them and the distance to keep from the poles.

In racing you can do stuff about betting, area of the track, speed of the horse, average stride in between the posts of 100m.

There is sooo muc maths if you think about it. :)

I really hope this helped.
