Yes, depending on the horse. Like people, not all horses are smart. Some horses are smarter than others. Reasons for a horse not being smart can be due to inbreeding, breeding horses that are not particularly smart to another horse that is not very smart, and even the upbringing of the horse. Some breeds of horses are known for being smart. One such breed is the Arabian.
Show horses in general also tend to be smart because they are usually worked, and then put in a stall or small paddock for the rest of the day and are therefore alone without much interaction with other horses. When these horses get bored, they tend to learn how to keep themselves entertained. Some learn how to open doors, undo latches, unbutton buttons, unzip zippers, take their stall blankets off and remove their legwraps.
Many aged (6 years and older) are very careful around children or while giving rides to children.

A horses personality trait is the way they act. The instuction that their brain is feeding their body. There appearance has nothing to do with the way they act of think. It is like a human with black hair being smarter than a human with brown hair.
