Robert Zombie's new song Foxy Foxy has the term educated horses in it and I was just wondering if anyone knew what that referred to?

Zombie explained the meaning of the title: "It was a weird kind of phrase, like, that I remembered as something as a kid. You know, my parents, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, the whole family, were involved in carnival business and, like, circus business, so as a kid, we would get dragged to these things, and we'd have to spend all this time there. And that was just one of the attractions I remember, what they would call the trained animals, you know, educated horses."

5. Circus act.

Called 'educated' or 'high school' horses.

6. It's slang

Horses that are trained to do precise routines are said to be doing school figures; those who do the more difficult ones are said to do high school figures. Hence educated.
