Uit Equine Science door Pilliner & Davies (standaard handboek bij ons op school):

'Only the cones can discriminate colours but they need stronger stimuli than the rods. It is assumed that horses can only see colour in ordinairy light and not when it's going dark. Horses where once thought to be colour-blind like cattel and dogs, but recent work has shown that they can determinate colour. Although there are some differeneces in their findings, most researchers agree that horses are most responsive to yellow, then green (mis between yellow and blue), then blue and least of all red. Horses are therefore more likely to spook at yellow fences than red ones.'

Als je het echt letterlijk hebt overgetypt zou ik er maar niet te veel blind op varen. Als die mensen denken zo hun onderzoek te kunnen presenteren en niet eens de moeite doen om er fatsoenlijk Engels van te maken ben ik al geneigd om ze niet te geloven Daarnaast heb ook ik begrepen dat uit onderzoek is gebleken dat paarden rood en blauw kunnen zien, en geen groen. Maar ik ken ook een paard dat schrikt van gele dingen. Tja.
