RE: [RC] lost horses - Libby & Quentin Llop DVM

When we lost my husband's horse in Canada, the horse left the forest where
the ride was held and went to a nearby cattle farm. When the farmer grained
the cows, Snorty would jump in and eat with them. When the farmer got near
him, he would jump back out and hide in the brush. Finding him was a matter
of waiting for the word to get from the cattle people to the horse people,
because we were all looking in the wrong place. The ride manager had gone
door to door and told all the neighboring horse owners about the lost horse.
Snorty was lost Saturday night and recovered Monday evening.(Thank you again
to all the wonderful people who helped us look)  Libby

From time to time I'v seen postings here and herd about people being

seperated from their horses on trailrides-or they jump the fence. What I was
wondering is how would ahorse survive alone in the woods-if you fell off and
they ran away? Would they return back to camp? Or if the park was close to
their home-would they go back there? Do they have the same "sent-smelling"
instincts as dogs when they are lost? Foe instance, I you move from one
state to another could they find their way back to their old home?
