Re: [RC] blue tarps, and other scary stuff - Chris PausLOL, Lonnie.. had the same experience! My filly Ali, the one that I took to the awful clinic, did a similar thing. She sees everything as a potential toy. One day there was a blue walmart plastic bag in the field. She grabbed it and shook it at the mares. Of course they ran and I could tell that Ali was just laughing her head off....She'd wait til the mares got all settled down and quietly eating and then she'd rattle that bag at them again and send them flying! She did that several times .. so I KNOW she's not a spooky horse and she does use her brain for problem solving and she has a sense of humor. chris --- Lonnie Ruesch <lonnieruesch@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi everyone, Thought I would share a funny story. My l/2 Arab mare Jasmine is pretty non-spooky, however she "glues an eye" on anything she passes that is white - especially when it is flapping in a breeze. When we got her first filly, we spent a lot of time imprinting her, rubbing her all over with everything we could think of, including white plastic grocery bags. One day one of these bags was picked up by a breeze and carried into the field. The filly, JasAbu thought "This is a fine toy, think I'll go show it to mom." The look on Jasmine's face as her filly chased her around the field was priceless - a cross between "Oh, no. That flapping white thing is trying to get me - I have to run away!" and "Eek, it has my baby's face!."
