RE: [RC] Tying to trailer = vanished? :) - Rae Callaway

It is weird, but my guys get very anxious if they can't see their buddies
through a trailer.

I have read a number of posts pointing out that if you tie you have to put 
your horses on the opposite sides of the trailer.  This revelation has been 
couched in terms the implication of which are that somehow the horses will 
be upset because they cannot see their buddies.

I'm confused.

I mean, we are talking horses here, right?  Animals which hear better than 
humans, have better olfactory senses than humans, like...  they can catch 
the scent/sound of a bear or coyote or mountain lion at well over 1/2 mile 
while their riders say asinine things like, "Stop being so silly.  There's 
nothing there"... so why would a horse think his buddy had disappeared just 
because he was 5 feet away on the other side of a lousy trailer?
