In fact, Dr. Patel has done a scientific study with Snowball. I heard Dr. Patel speak today. Snowball responded to different tempos. Apparently Snowball is the first recorded case!

well, he's figured out the percentage of times he gets is right, and for how many seconds, on average. i think they're still in the process of figuring out the statistics of how significant that is and stuff (but i could be outdated)

Not only does Snowball keep the beat, his head and feet coordinate with different accents in the rhythm, and he squawks at definite punctuation points in the music.

Also, horses are known to move in coordination with music quite willingly, and seem to enjoy it - which is why Lippizaners perform to classical music at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.
