No, horses aren't stupid at all. They're just wired differently from us when it comes to the mating game.
Let's start with humans. We are super visual creatures in the romance department. Men are often moved by a woman's curves, smile, or overall vibe. Women, on the other hand, appreciate a man's build, confidence, or charm (and MONEY). But even with our big brains, we humans aren't above fooling ourselves for a good time. There are men who have their good times with sex dolls (some even look hyper-realistic and cost thousands). Women enjoy vibrators and dildos. Our minds create the fantasy, and the body responds. It's all about that psychological spark overriding reality.
Now, flip the script to horses. They're not judging by looks like we do; they're moved by scents (pheromone). When a female horse (a mare) is in heat, she releases powerful chemical signals called pheromones through her urine and other secretions. These scents scream drive any male horse (stallion) crazy, triggering his instincts to mount and mate. No deep thinking required; it's pure biology on autopilot.
Breeders take advantage of these cues. They either dab some urine from a female that's one heat, on the dummy mount or put a cloth dabbed with the urine right up against the stallion's nose. Once the stallion's nose picks up the scent coming from the dummy or the cloth, nothing else matters. He mounts the dummy, which is padded and positioned just right to feel stable and natural, or just follow the breeders.
The "plastic tube" you're talking about is more than just a plastic tube o. It's an artificial vagina that's designed to be soft, lubricated and warm. It is designed to mimic the pressure, texture, and feel of a real mare's vagina. So, it doesn't feel any different from the real thing.

Another thought-provoking article is "Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible" by Fira Bensto (pseudonym), which is just out in the current issue of @JConIdeas.
This piece challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual contact between humans and animals. This article offers a controversial perspective that calls for a serious and open discussion on animal ethics and sex ethics.
