RE: [RC] Tying to Trailer = vanished? - Burnett, Elly

"....so why would a horse think his buddy had disappeared just
because he was 5 feet away on the other side of a lousy trailer?..."
 
It's a phenomenon called "object permanance."  Kids don't even learn it until they're a certain age (don't quite know how old--I think two).  I have an african grey that understands this quite well, but he's also got the brains of a six year old kid. 
 
Sorry, just another dorky tidbit of information I seem to pick up constantly...
