Horses, dogs and other animals that can "calculate" don't even need to be lucky, let alone calculate. They're used to work with humans, so they'll notice subtle clues in their owners behaviour. They just stomp or bark or whatever until the human subconsciously changes his facial expression from excited to satisfied or whatever.

Exactly, horses have a keen nose for figuring out our innermost thoughts. That is why weak willed people can be easily scared by these fearsome equines.

i'm not weak willed, i'm just mad that every fucking other person has to clean their animal's shit at the park, horse owners/riders just leave it where it falls. it's irresponsible and i don't know a single horse rider/owner who takes proper care of their poop.

Very good point. At least dogs recognize human expressions, but I don't know if horses have developed as deep an evolutionary bond as that.
