My young horse is such a HOOVER that his heart
rate WON'T go down at vet checks until he has had a bite of slop! He comes into
vet check and thinks he has found "horse heaven" with all that food and people
there to feed it to him. I have to let him eat a little or he will not drop at
all. He believes he is at these rides to eat!
My husband's mare is such a hoover on the trail (and elsewhere)
that I'm tempted to put blinders on her so she can't see the salad bar
she's walking through. Talk about a suvivalist! (Now if we
could just get a decent work ethic on her to go with
it!)
