Re: [RC] re: 'Talking is, IMO, unacceptable. ' - Chris Paus

I think it just takes time and patience. My most vocal
horse has been my young 4YO mare, Ali. The first few
times I took her to a local park to ride, she really
made noise. Now I can take her on "field trips" and
she is much quieter. Same with camping. The first time
she was v ery nervous and noisy. The second time, she
got the hang of it and settled in nicely.

I think anytime you take a horse, especially a young
one, out of a familiar environment, you might get
noise.

That's why it's good to practice camping and simulate
other endurance situations as much as possible before
taking them on the real thing.

OD, there was someone camping nearby who had a

the 50 or 100, and another in the 25.  The 25 mile

horse (no

clue what gender) hollared every 5 minutes like

clock-work all

night long while his buddy was out doing his ride.

 Sure has

heck was annoying, but I never heard or saw anyone

trying to

shut him up.



The "social implications" are more serious with
stallions, but personally
I feel it applies to all horses.
