Hume- A horse, that has been accustomed to the field, becomes acquainted with the proper height, which he can leap, and will never attempt what exceeds his force and ability.
This sentence caused me to think in terms of how humans and animals are different in regards to our surroundings. Of course a horse will know its surroundings and feel comfortable in their surroundings because they have been there for some time...Humans get accustomed to there surroundings where ever they move...We are made to adapt..However, a lot of animals dont know how to adapt. So if that horse was places somewhere else, outside of what he is used to, he may not know his limits...In regards to humans we know are limits where ever we go..
