Re: [RC] Chicken Chase, Part Two (long) - Barbara McCrary

No, he probably thinks the rock was an elephant seal!  Many years ago, I
introduced one of my favorite horses, not usually a spooker, to the fine art
of beach patrol for the state park system.  When he saw his first elephant
seal in a small sandy cove, he thought it was a large benign log.  Then the
large log reared up, did his typical toot-toot sound, and scared the living
daylights out of my horse.  Thereafter, all large rocks on the desert were
suspect.  This horse never forgot, as long as he lived.

It definitely could be that! He's usually scared of big rocks (not sure,
maybe in a past life he was beat by a giant with big rocks), so it didn't
really occur to me that it was the horse in the rock that concerned him
until after he'd already agreed that the rock was no big deal and then
spooked at the sketching. I got to admire the sketching while trying to

get

him to accept it though. I thought it was cool! Wish I'd thought to take a
picture while I was there!

Could it be that the etching in the rock was so life like that Tanna
couldn't
figure out why or how a horse could be in a rock? <g>
