Re: [RC] Horse bonding and bad manners - Zephyr Arabians--- Vallonelee@xxxxxxx wrote: My horses have all been together for years and years. When I take one out for a ride, there is some whinnying but only from the horses that are left behind. The horse I am riding never whinnies to his buddies left at home. What do you make of that? My horses are the same way at home too. The horses left behind whinny and then as we approach home on the way back they'll whinny and the one being ridden will often answer (just once). Unfortunately, being someplace NEW can cause normally confident and independant horses to regress into herd bound wusses. :) I'm pretty sure the only solution is time, miles, experience, and patience. ~Nicole ===== * Zephyr Arabians & KattWmn Web Design * * http://www.zephyrarabians.com * * http://www.kattwmn.com * * From the "Horse Capital of the USA" Norco, CA * * * * You have the right to remain silent, anything * * you say can be misquoted and used against you. * __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
