Found it interesting the horses were more tactile than the dogs given the "zone of information" horses have with one another without touch or sound.

Not to anthropomorphize, but we communicate with them via touch (hands, legs, weight). "Makes Sense" they might communicate with us in the same way.

And anyone who has been owned by a horse already knew this.

[Tarlo Farm]

Yes. And we've all seen the opaque commands - or the result of those commands - horses give one another, even from a distance. Considering how tactile my dog is, I'd have thought dogs would be more so than horses. Like a friends says, maybe they realize the "dumb human needs a nudge."
