Unfortunately, I cannot take this horse.....but this makes it sound as if 
it's either the blanket itself that's scaring the horse, or the guy who owns 
him isn't the rider he thinks he is. I wonder if the guy ever bothered to 
check the BLANKET to see if there's a nail in it, or something that's hurting 
the horse? There's something that's not being said by the guy....and I'm 
willing to bet it's his fault the horse is suddenly wacko.
