What do the horse’s messages mean

I get a cryptic message every time I click on the horse. Example:

enter image description here

Other messages include

  • Gazing into the horse's eyes, you feel on the verge of understanding
    a deep mystery.
  • You ponder the horse's speed, and are inspired to
    quicken your own step.
  • The horse's calm in the face of danger steels your will.
  • The horse gazes upon you calmly, reminding you that patience is a virtue.
  • Peering deep into the horse's eyes, you feel you are not yet ready for its wisdom.
  • The horse fixes you with a withering gaze.

These sound a lot like the stat increase messages in ADOM, because they reference things like speed and willpower; however, my stats don't seem to be increasing on their own, and I get the feeling that the game might be just messing with me…

As far as I know, the Horse's only purpose is to hint at the "Secret Horse Level", much how Diablo had a cow that could be clicked (though the Secret Cow Level only existed in the sequel).

To clarify, the cows in Diablo also responded when clicked on:

  • "Yup, that's a cow all right!"
  • "I am not thirsty"
  • "Hey! I am no milkmaid!"
