I don't know oldsam,

Really they are all the same thing. Just because a horse can figure out more complex tasks doesn't mean it has a concept of self.

As several people have said (including myself) intellignece does not necessarily equate to self awareness.
Again, I'm not saying that your horse is completely devoid of this concpet, but I just don't think being able to get their own treats is a good indication of this.

It's sort of the same arguement as emotion and intellignece.
Many animals will pout, or get angry (at least appear to), but does this mean they are intelligent?

Human babies are full of emtoion, but do not develope a concept of self, or intelligence untill later on. So it's not that difficult to beleive that animals can have differeing levels of all three of these.
