RE: Re: RE: Who Rides with Broken Ribs

You're right.  Saying to someone, "Please say something" guarantees that
they'll be struck speechless.

So instead, just start talking to them.  You can even tell them, with a big
grin, "If you start talking, he'll know for sure that you're people.
Sometimes he has trouble recognizing humans out on the trail."

Helps me keep my gelding relatively sane.
