no matter where i am and which horse i am on i
always know when i make a turn toward home or camp. just go
out at a competition where the trail crosses the way back to camp and you have
to go the other direction. yes, they know the way. now it may
take you thru some territory you would rather not ride thru such as briars
and dense trees but they will go home. now that is with a rider on,
not sure when frightened and by themselves .
Yes, I was just wondering (and maybe I'll post this to ridecamp, because
I know the group will know), when we are in the middle of our lovely trail
wandering, how good is my horse's sense of direction? If I ride her in a loop
over the hills, will she still realize we're heading home if we come down the
other side of the ridge? I bet she does! Need to check it out. Other
observations on horses' sense of direction?
