[RC] Peeing on the trail..... - Lynn BrunettoA group of us ride together all the time. We trail ride......no
endurance......yet!
But we have taught our horses to feel free to pee when we whistle a certain
song! Starting out with an experienced pee-er helps! My mare will pee 2 or
3 times on the trail. Whenever anyone looks like they have to go....getting
a little uncomfortable....we will stop and start to whistle our "pee" song.
It works about 85% of the time! One of the horses likes to fake us out just
so that he can take a rest, and grab a mouthful of grass! He is also very
good at "faking" a stumble when he goes through water...he LOVES to roll in
it....rider or no!

Subject: Re: [RC] question about "knowing" horseI've heard that some vets know how to make a horse pee? Is this true? =And if so I'd appreciate any and all tips! Well, I don't think my DVM degree helps with this phenomenon one little = bit <g>, but often if I get off to pee, my horse will pee, too! Also, = riding with another horse that is not shy about urinating whenever the = urge hits is a big help in getting a shy one to go. And when they DO = go, reinforce their actions with lots of praise. (Where but among = endurance riders do you hear half a dozen people muttering "Good boy, = good boy" every time any horse within hearing distance urinates.....)
