And the number one scary thing in the minds of horses?

1. Carts and Wagons
Look. You put a human on our backs, we can always buck them off. But hitching a horse to a wheeled object. It's just not right. No matter how fast the horse trots, the dang cart is still running after him. Oh, the Horror!!!


(emailed to me. Couldn't find where it came from. Thanks! Whoever) My joke barrel is a little dry. Will have to pull out some 1960's Horseman mags again.

That is hilarious. I've read that somewhere several years ago but had forgotten about it.

Thanks Spud, I think we should dub you the humor moderator!

umm it's nice.. i think i have read this before as well.

Yes, This is right. This is such a scary stuff.

Autumn scarecrows on a stick is also scary stuff for horse.

for my horse I can add.. the blue plastic wrap that comes off sileage wrapped bales .. he thinks theyre bunyips (Australian version of Yettis)

and ducks flying up from the water no other birds just ducks

The only thing that my horses seem scared of is I'll run outta feed! Hee Hee!!!

My horse Stella has the fear of life. If it moves or looks wrong Its going to eat her and she reacts accordingly. Its good for the reflexes. Keeps you in your toes so to speak and you learn how to fall with style.

I liked the post and how true they do get upset at all you have mentioned do you mind if i steal the quotations.
Cheers

Walking towards the horse carrying a saddle That means work and its then a game of catch me if you can.
