Re: [RC] Horses that don't run off (after dumping you) - Karen Sullivan

This is why I train my horses to come when I call "who wants a goodie?"...I
always
reward them with food; and carry carrots with me when I ride.

Krista said something that made me think.

When my 4 year old dumped me in a big field -
We were alone and h
he could have run home (barn could be seen in the distance)- he could
have run out into the highway...
but he lapped the 10 acre field acouple of times  (doing some spectacular
hand stands) - then he stopped about 200 feet from me.

I called him- and he trotted right over to me.
To me that's a good sign (not that I got dumped- but that at 4 he didn't
leave me there)

That was his saving grace that day.

Kristi said in part:
Bless that little horse, he always came
back and looked down at my prone figure like he
wondered why in the world I was down there. There's
nothing like seeing a horse's muzzle from the prone
position to make you start giggling and forget how
angry/sore/embarrassed you are.
