Re: [RC] [RC] Did I Understand You Correctly? - Barbara McCrary
I had a similar experience only the offending
rocks were Elephant Seals. My wonderful horse Courage was my first patrol
horse for the Mounted Assistance Unit for state parks. We patrolled the
beaches north of us, and one day we dropped off a sand dune into a little
cove. A large grey-brown log was lying on the beach...no problem...until
the large log reared up, dropped his proboscis into his throat, and started
"honking" the typical bull Elephant Seal challenge. Then the log started
undulating his way toward the surf. Courage responded with an "Ohmigosh,
WHAT is THAT?" Ever after, he would spook at anything big, such as large
rocks on the desert. It corrupted him for the rest of his life. We
don't patrol the beach any more, but stick to the canyons and forests of
the inland section of the park.
she has decided that rocks, large ones are going to kill her
and eat her.
HA! My little 14.3 H guy, Bravo, was fine with rocks until one day
we were riding on BLM land, rounded a curve and there were 3 burros lying on
the side of the path. He never gave those "rocks" a second look until
they jumped up and started running, braying like crazy. He
give rocks that size a second look now.
