Re: [RC] falling off the horse-long - susan cooper--- Truman Prevatt <tprevatt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: With a horse like that - you must always be on your toes at all times and be looking down the trail farther than the horse to see what he might spook at. If you see it first you can usually "work them through it" without you becoming a yard dart. << LOVE the yard dart description!! I have a horse (not my endurance horse) that spooks at the "invisable" monsters, not the ones you can see, so you can never prepare. She will do a 180 then stop and say "oh, it was nothing". She is lead mare in the herd, and I think takes her responsibilities seriously. I ONLY ride her with another horse and always behind the other horse, then she doesn't spook and is the perfect trail horse. I've contemplated selling her, but I understand her and I don't want her going to someone who will punish her - after all, in her mind, she is trying to protect everybody else.
