Scientists say horses can make 17 distinct facial expressions, ten less than humans. A Psychologist researcher Jennifer Wathan, set out to study 86 different horses including Icaro, with her team. They used Equfacs( Equine Facial Action Coding System) to see exactly what facial muscles the horses use to make different expressions.

Horses were randomly assigned to one of four treatments: 1) no LIPC, (CON); 2) 15 g of 500 mg/g of LIPC, recommended level (REC); 3) 25 g of 500 mg/g of LIPC (1.66 x R); or 4) 35 g of 500 mg/g of LIPC (2.30 x R). Horses were fed 2-3 lbs of Strategy® (Purina Mills, St. Louis, MO) to maintain a BCS of a 5-6 at 0600 and treatments were top dressed at time of feeding.

Science released an article entitled “Facial Expressions—Including Fear—May Not Be as Universal as We Thought”, written by Michael Pierce on October 17, 2016.

This week Heather took our imported Irish sport horse named Deelite to a show so my week was spent packing the trailer with everything you could possibly need (show cloths, tack, lunging equipment, different bits just incase, water fans, buckets, boots, and grooming supplies just to name a few things), getting all papers that are needed for traveling in order (health certificate, coggins, copies of entrance forms, etc.).

Ways in which gibbons (Hylobatidae), a small ape species, altered their use of facial expressions in relation to the recipient’s behavior was explored in a different study by Scheider, Waller, Ona, Burrows, and Liebal (2016). More specifically, the researchers investigated how attention state of the receiver influenced the expression produced, as well as whether recipients would respond by using a facial expression (Scheider et al., 2016). Mated pairs of five different gibbon species were observed and researchers used GibbonFACS to code and define facial expressions. 45 different expressions were discovered, used in different contexts (Scheider et al., 2016).
