Re: [RC] methods to encourage drinking in ridecamp - heidiDo they settle more if their buddy isn't there? It really depends on the horse. I was concerned about the horse that we're just getting started, because he is REALLY bonded with his buddy in camp when the buddy is there. (He has been fine going off and leaving his buddy out on the trail, although I doubt he would have been as tolerant if the buddy had gone off and left HIM.) As it turned out, he was far more confident in himself when the buddy wasn't there at all. My experience has been that if buddies come to the ride together, then it can be a real pain to do anything with just one of them. But horses are variable if the buddy stays home completely--some don't do as well, while others (like this one of ours) do better.
