Re: [RC] spooking - Barbara Moultonsame thing worked for my mustang, she trots right up to anything new now and wants her treat for touching it. I have to remember to ride with a loaded fannypack. I have only found one thing that really freaks her and that is anything to do with fire./smoke She doesn't like to cross burned over fields,going past burned trash, torched junk cars or the burned elk skull and she went flipping nuts once on a new trail when we approached some large bulls. She used to be pastured with some rodeo bulls so I didn't get it until we were coming back the same way about twenty minutes later and within a mile as the bird flies was a huge smoke plume- the news that night at 10:00 reported a chemical fire had started at 7:00 pm just as we were approaching that bull field. She could probably smell something burning with chems and thought those bulls must have been from Mars.
