I once owned a very odd QH gelding  sired by an old time horse named Mainline Buck.  Usually, he came up to the barn in the evening when I called him, but one stormy night he didn't come even though I called for quite a while.  SInce our pastureland runs in a long narrow strip at the base of a mountain, I can't actually see the pasture from the barn, so I had to walk down the hillside to see why Scotty wasn't responding.  Seems he actually was.  It's just that the wind was blowing really hard down the length of the pasture and Scotty was walking  home backwards.   It was taking him much longer than his usual frontward trip.
