Re: [RC] question about "knowing" horse - Barbara McCrary
I've heard endurance riding being
defined as "the only sport where everyone cheers when a horse pees". I've
always thought this was not only funny, but very appropriate.
>I've heard that some vets know how to make a
horse pee? Is this true? And if so I'd appreciate any and all
tips!
Well, I don't think my DVM degree helps with this
phenomenon one little bit <g>, but often if I get off to pee, my
horse will pee, too! Also, riding with another horse that is not shy
about urinating whenever the urge hits is a big help in getting a shy one to
go. And when they DO go, reinforce their actions with lots of
praise. (Where but among endurance riders do you hear half a dozen
people muttering "Good boy, good boy" every time any horse within hearing
distance urinates.....)
